Dear Ceecee,
Well we did it - we survived your very first trip to the ER! In fact - it was your very first unscheduled (i.e. anything other than a well-baby/immunization check-up) visit to the doctor EVER, and your very first prescription medicine also! Diagnosis = strep throat, and because of it you got a very high fever that had us very worried. We ended up taking you to the ER last Friday night, on a holiday of all days (Good Friday!) but luckily we were in and out within 1.5 hours. And you were an absolute trooper, thankfully. The antibiotics worked magic and within a few days you were back to your normal happy self. Which is a pleasure, because you are just SO much fun to be around these days!
Love,
Mommy

Alexis - 32 Weeks 2 Days Pregnant
Dear Baby Girl,
Things here are very busy - work, your sister, trying to get stuff all ready for your arrival. I can't believe that you are due to arrive NEXT month! This pregnancy has flown by - I am super-excite to meet you, but I will definitely miss this special time with you. There is nothing quite like feeling your baby move inside you. And seeing that you are our last baby, it's bittersweet to have time marching by so quickly. I want to savor and enjoy every moment. But goodness, you are strong! Right now you are kicking me so hard I'm flinching! Good thing I love you already.
Love,
Mommy

Alexis - 29 Weeks 3 Days Pregnant
Dear Baby Girl,
Sorry I haven't written lately - your big sister has been keeping us so busy and with work and being pregnant... I'm TIRED. Sorry, second kid syndrome already, oops! I got to see you on screen again on Tuesday, and yep, you are definitely still a girl! I had lots more ultrasounds with Mercedes, so it's very exciting to see you at least once again. You have chubby cheeks and long legs (at least according to the ultrasound!) which made me smile, because that's what your big sister had! I can't wait to see if you guys look alike, act alike, develop similarly. 10ish weeks to go! And you are definitely making your presence known - it's amazing how much stronger and more pronounced your movements feel, compared to your sister's.
Love,
Mommy

Mercedes - 25 Months Old
Dear Princess,
You have been in your 'big-girl room' (but still in your crib) for a couple of weeks now - and you love it! There were a couple of nights where you woke up a little confused/scared and some VERY early mornings, but with the help of Daylight Savings Time you seem to be all fixed! I love seeing you run around in there, and to talk so clearly about your surroundings. Having conversations with you is the best thing ever! Not only are you very verbal, you are very, very observant and in tune with emotions and feelings. Such a smart kid - it's truly amazing to see!

Mercedes - Happy 2nd Birthday!
Dear Birthday Girl,
Happy Birthday! I can't believe you are two whole years old. Two years ago I was just settling into my hospital room with you, trying to figure out breastfeeding and this whole 'mom' thing - I loved you already of course, but I didn't KNOW you. And now, you feel as important, close, special to me as the air that I breathe. Your father and I love you SO much - it actually physically hurts sometimes!
Anyway - you had a great birthday - lots of presents and a little family party at Bubie and Zaidie's house, complete with a Backyardigans cake and decorations. You are a very happy girl - we are all truly blessed to know you.
Love,
Momma

Alexis - 23 Weeks 1 Day Pregnant
Dear Baby Girl,
Your father and I just got back on the weekend from a week-long trip to Jamaica - WITHOUT your big sister, so you can use that as bragging rights when you are older! You came on vacation with us and we left Mercedes with Bubie and Zaidie! The we landed (so I was 21 weeks and 4 days) we actually felt you on the outside for the first real, noticeable time!
Daddy felt you also and we were both so excited. It seemed like the perfect way to start off our trip. And I have not stopped feeling you since. You are one busy (and strong!) little girl. If you are this busy on the outside, we are in BIG trouble!
Love,
Momma

Mercedes - 23.5 Months Old
Dear Ceecee,
It's so hard to believe your 2nd birthday is just around the corner. I remember you in my belly, you being born, you turning one... like it was yesterday! I am so excited to watch you continue to grow and learn. It's so much fun being witness to all of your wonderfulness! Last week, Daddy and I went on our first real vacation since before you were born - to Jamaica - for a week while you stayed with Bubie and Zaidie. We were nervous about leaving you for so long and of course, we missed you terribly (I recall watching videos of you Auntie Kimmy had saved on her phone and crying) but it was a fun vacation and you had a blast with your grandparents! Apparently you were a 'delight' and they started missing you the second we picked you up. You are a lucky little girl to have so many people in your life who love you so much!
Love,
Mommy
