Hey there, sweet baby! You have been growing in my belly for about 7 months now! 7 months of loving you, worrying about you, praying over you, and learning about you! I know this is just another beginning! The beginning of another beautiful love story! Right now you are so tiny! It is hard for me to imagine (your mama can’t visualize very well). Your pregnancy has been different. This time around I know better what to expect. I know what is ‘normal’ and what I need to be concerned about. I know what my body is capable of. How strong it truly is. I know that God put you in my womb and I trust that he is going to make sure that you are safe and sound in there.

Life has been crazy since you have been tagging along. We bought a new house because you are joining us soon, and moving while pregnant is not for the weak! We’ve been on trips and adventures. We have spent countless hours rocking your big sister. One of my favorite things is when I am rocking your big sister to sleep at night and you just kick her constantly. She doesn’t even flinch. I have both of my babies in my lap. Your big sister doesn’t really understand that you are coming soon but I just know she will absolutely adore you when you arrive! She already takes such good care of her baby dolls and stuffed animals. She loves to put them night night so maybe she will be good at getting you to sleep!

We will have the best first few weeks together! You are scheduled to come right before Halloween and mama gets to stay home with you until after New Years! We will get to celebrate all of your first big holidays together! How special! You don’t know it but mommy already has a ton of fun photoshoots planned for you and your big sister! I want to make sure to capture all of those sweet fresh days with you, sweet baby!

I was very excited when your big sister was growing in my belly but with you, I feel a different type of excitement! I’ve got a pretty good idea of how to be a mom now and the most exciting part this time is to watch you grow up with a big sister! I think you will learn things so much faster because Brinley will teach you better than I can. You will have an example of how to do things! I also can’t wait to learn how different you are from Brinley. What type of personality you will have, and what things you will like and dislike.

There are so many people who already love you, sweet baby, more than you’ll ever know! You have the best grands waiting to spoil and snuggle you! You have aunts and uncles that can’t wait to watch you grow! Also, you have 2 doggies that are so good with your big sister that I just know they will love you too! But most of all, your mommy and daddy will always make sure you feel safe, loved, and wanted! You will be cherished and treasured for all the days of your life!

See you soon, sweet baby! Love, your mama!
