To Our Baby,
Can you believe we are 5 weeks away from your due date? Your mom and dad are ready to meet you (whenever you are ready!) You and I have quite the bond already and I will miss you being in my belly. I have carried you with me every day for the past 8+ months and felt every little flutter and kick. I talk to you, play with you, and sing to you sometimes. Even though I haven’t met you yet, baby, I already feel the need to protect you, nurture love, and love you above all else.
We have been in love with you since the day we found out we were pregnant. We first saw you when you were about 7 weeks old. I will never forget that moment. We had been praying for you for so long and there you were up on the screen – one strong heart beat and one large baby. They adjusted your due date up because you were so big and strong!
Throughout our journey together, there have been some ups and downs. You gave us quite the scare in Hawaii little thing! But your dad and I knew you were strong. We know that you were given to us at the exact right time and for a special purpose. God knew you before you were even formed, and He set you apart for something special. Your Dad and I just know it!
You are our first baby and I’m sure we will learn a lot from each other! I can’t wait to teach you things! I want to teach you to read, to listen more than you talk, to dream big, and to be independent. But your dad, your dad is the most amazing person. He will teach you to be kind, to open the door for others, to think about everyone but yourself, and to work hard.
I can’t wait to see the person you are and who you will become someday. I feel like I already know you a little bit. You are very active – you won’t sit still for any ultrasound photos. You like to scare your mother. Are you always going to do that? You are a night owl (your dad is like that too!) Can we at least agree to sleep through the night early on? But more than anything, I want you to know that you can be whoever you want to be, and we will always be there to support you.
I want you to know that you are loved. You were brought into this world because of the love that me and your dad have for each other, and it is a very great love. It’s a love that created new life, and that is you, our baby. We feel so blessed that you are on your way to us and we can’t wait to love you more than anything in the world. Our biggest dream was to have you, so know that you have already made our dreams come true! Thank you, baby for choosing me and your dad as your parents. We are very excited for your arrival and we are counting down the days. Our lives are about to change forever, and we couldn’t be more excited.
Love,
Your Mom

I am obsessed with this dress! I saw it on the Pink Blush website and knew I needed it for our maternity photos. Based on the reviews I went up to an XL. If you have a larger chest, I would suggest going up a size (or two honestly) from your normal size. The top will be tight and you will not need to wear a bra. The white is a little sheer, but nothing a few band-aids couldn’t fix! I have gotten so many compliments on this dress, it really is stunning in person. They have this dress in tons and tons of colors. I love the look of the yellow!
