Alexis - 19 Weeks Pregnant

Dear Bean,

I had an ultrasound this morning, and aside from telling me that you are completely healthy and absolutely perfect, they also told us that you are a GIRL!
We are so thrilled! Not that we wouldn't have been happy either way of course, but your father and I were both not-so-secretly hoping for another girl! Mercedes is just so much fun, that we both loved the idea of another beautiful princess to spoil. And of course, I have a truly wonderful sister, and a very special relationship with her, and I'd love for you and your sister to experience the same thing. Plus, we have a LOT of pink clothes already!

Love,

Momma

Mercedes - 21 Weeks Pregnant

Dear Baby Girl,

Well, it looks like you really ARE a girl! We had a second ultrasound with a different technologist and he agreed that you are indeed female. And we couldn't be happier. We've even started shopping in earnest now - we've got your stroller and carseat and a whole bunch of pink outfits and we even ordered your beautiful bedding. I can't wait until it gets here and then we'll paint and get your furniture all ordered and set up. The time is moving so quickly - it's already October! You'll be here before we know it and we can't wait to meet you. Your Daddy can't wait to spoil you - there is just something special about Daddy's little girls (I should know, I am one too!)

Love,

Mommy
