Hi sweetheart! I think that this will probably be my last letter to you before you’re delivered. You’re scheduled birthday is tomorrow, although so far, I don’t see that happening.

Dear Munchkin, We have another doctor’s appointment tomorrow and two things will make Mommy very happy. First of all if you’re heartbeat is all nice and rhythmic again and secondly if you’ve done as I asked and started to plan your departure from my belly.

Hi Munchkin! Daddy keeps harassing me to write you another letter. I think he thinks you feel neglected and we don’t want that, so here you go. We’ve had quite a busy couple of weeks. We finished your nursery (I went with the fish, by the way), drove to Nashville for Kim’s wedding, went to [...]

Hi baby, So I’m sorry that it’s been a while since I’ve written to you. Not that I have to make excuses – I am the Mommy after all – but every time I’ve gotten on the internet over the past week or so it’s been to read what people are saying about your daddy. [...]

Week 21 Letter

May 16, 2009

Hi baby! Check out this picture… it’s you! And I may be a little biased but I think you are the most beautiful, least alien looking baby I’ve ever seen in a sonogram picture. Daddy and I got to see you last Wednesday and while we didn’t learn if you’re a boy or girl – [...]
