Baby Girl,

I'm sitting here in Florida, and it's Friday evening. The doors are open letting a warm breeze in. It's a beautiful night. Your father is still in England and will be here in 11 days. You are moving about quite a bit and kicking constantly. It makes me so happy to feel you move and it lets me know that your are healthy and happy. You will be here in less than three months and your father and I are so excited! I've been spending days dreaming about how you will look, what color hair and eyes you will have, what your voice will sound like. I can't believe that I am lucky enough to get to have you and raise you. I am so in love with you already. Your father and I read to you almost every night, even now - I just hold the phone to my belly and you move and kick because you like the sound of his voice. He really loves that. We are so ready to hold you and can't believe that it will be so very soon that we will get the chance. I am getting bigger by the day and it makes me happy to know that you are growing and getting stronger all the time. I already have so many plans and dreams for you laid out in my mind, but most of all I just want to make sure that you always feel happy and loved. There is no one in the world who will be loved more than you and I hope you always know that.

Sometimes it is scary to think that I will be a mom soon. It seems like I've barely grown up and now I'm going to be responsible for this new amazing little person. But I know that as much as things are going to change, all the changes are going to be good ones. I already can't picture my life without you and I can't wait to see the amazing person you will become. I know your father is missing you like crazy. He loves to talk to you and feel you move and put his head on my belly to hear your heart beat. He can't wait to be here with me and he can't wait to be a dad. No father could love you more than he does.

I just wanted to write this quick note to you to tell you I love you and to thank you for the priviledge of being your mother. It is something I wouldn't trade for the world.

All my love, All my life,

Mommy
