Dear Baby Girl,
The doctors and nurses have already told me that you will be/are a big baby. I had another ultrasound yesterday and you look big and perfect and healthy. And you've been kicking the crap out of me lately also.
Today your Daddy actually felt you kick for the very first time. I made some spicy chili for dinner and either you really liked it, or you really did NOT - because you were moving and kicking like crazy after. Daddy was able to finally feel you and he was so excited. He can't wait to meet his little princess.
Love,
Mommy

Mercedes - 22 Weeks 3 Days Pregnant
Dear Baby Girl,
Today I felt you kick from the OUTSIDE for the very first time! It was so exciting. You've been kicking up a storm all day today (which I have to tell you is kind of distracting while I'm trying to work) - and then when I got home from work I was chatting with your dad on the couch. I was just telling him about how active you were all day, when pow! I definitely, 100%, felt you kick my hand! Unfortunately, you stopped moving around then, even though Daddy tried to feel right away. I am confident however, that this means he'll be able to feel you for the first time within the next few days. He is very impatient!
Love,
Your thrilled Mommy

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

Mercedes - 18 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant
Dear Peanut,
Well, we are almost halfway there! Hard to believe I will be 19 weeks pregnant tomorrow - the days and weeks just keep flying by. The most amazing thing is that I am feeling you moving around now everyday. It isn't super-strong yet of course, and your Daddy can't feel from the outside yet, but I know you are there! Especially when I am in the car - which is apparently what I did when my mom was pregnant with me.
And the other big news - you are a GIRL! At least, we think so. We would have been thrilled either way of course, but (not-so-secretly), your father and I are absolutely delighted to have a little princess. We have a follow up ultrasound in about a week so we'll confirm them for sure that you are really a girl. We've been so impatient to find out and start shopping!
Your Daddy bought you your first girl present today - a pink surfboard - but left the receipt in the bag... JUST in case ;) Either way, we love you already and can't wait for you to be here!
Love,
Mommy
P.S. It looks like you are going to be TALL like your Daddy. Yay!

Mercedes - 17 Weeks Pregnant
Dear Peanut!
It's hard to believe it is already September and the summer is almost over. This summer (and my pregnancy so far) just flew by. I can't believe I am already 17 weeks pregnant, can feel you moving around now, and that we are only two weeks away from figuring out if you are a boy or a girl. IN the beginning, I thought boy and Daddy thought girl, but lately we've switched and now think the opposite. I guess we'll find out soon enough who is right. And then we can start decoration your very first room. We can't wait to see it all set up and have you finally sleeping in it!
Love,
Mommy

Mercedes - 15 Weeks 3 Days Pregnant
Dear Peanut,
I think I felt you move for the first time today! Not that you haven't been moving around for some time now, but today was the first time I actually felt it! What an odd sensation - kind of like little popping bubbles in my stomach. I hope I get to feel it again soon - I can't wait until there are actual forceful kicks going on. Then there will be NO doubt as to what you are up to, and then Daddy can feel it too!
Love,
A very excited Mommy
