Letters to my love #2

Dear Little Buttercup-

Today is Thanksgiving and I am very thankful for you. I am very thankful that you are healthy inside my tummy and that I have been healthy throughout my pregnancy. I am thankful that you and I and your daddy have a lot of family that love us and take care of us. You and I ate quite a bit today. Lots of delicious turkey, potatoes, and pie. I can't believe that you will be here in less than a month. It's so surreal and I can't quite wrap my brain around the fact that you will be here so soon. But I'm so excited! And so is everyone else! We all can't wait to include you in all of our holiday festivities. Next Thanksgiving/Christmas you will be one year old and so much fun to play with. You will be starting to walk and get into things that you shouldn't.

Happy Thanksgiving, little one. Keep growing healthy and strong. I love you so so much.

Love,

Mama

Letters to my love #1

My lovely little girl,

Only five more weeks until you arrive! Everyone is so excited for you to be here so that we can all love on you and cuddle you. I know that you are the prettiest girl in the world. Your daddy couldn’t agree more. We stay awake for hours at night, trying to fathom how small and precious you will be when you arrive. I am almost finished with school- only about another three weeks. You are on my mind all the time and sometimes it is very difficult to focus on school and my studies. I just can’t wait until it’s just me and you and daddy at home, cuddling in our bed. We are working hard to get everything ready for when you get here. Last weekend was my baby shower in Houston and I got so many things that I know you will love. I also have another baby shower this weekend in Austin. Your grandmothers are amazing women. You won’t even believe how much they love you and how they will do anything for you. But I want you to know, my little one, that no one will ever love you like I love you. From the moment I knew you were in my tummy, I felt nothing but an overwhelming love for you. I will take care of you all the days of my life.

Love,

Mama
