Dear Olivia,

You have decided to sleep all day and now are up late at night. Okay it's only 11 but when your brother gets up around 8 it seems late to me. ;) As I sat with you on the bed I was greeted with smile after smile. I couldn't believe it! I have never seen you smile so much! I was on could nine. I was bringing out that full on baby talk and crazy woman faces to be rewarded with those smiles! I love you so much beautiful girl! Thank you for making my late nights worth it! I love being your mom! Stay happy little girl!!! :)

Love, 
Mom

Dear Olivia,

You're here!!! Okay so I'm kind of a slacker. To be honest you've been here for about 19 days now! It's crazy how fast it's going! I honestly can't believe we're so close to your one month birthday!!! Ah!!! I'm trying to soak up every minute I can with you! :) 

You are one beautiful baby! People compliment you all the time! It's probably because you have the most beautiful skin and lots of hair! Your brothers hair fell out pretty fast but I am so praying you keep your beautiful dark hair! I love it! Especially because it sticks up all over the place. Seriously it never lays flat. But I honestly don't mind because its stinking adorable!!! :) You're eyes are blue now but we'll see if they go dark. I'm thinking they will but who knows. Maybe you'll have blue eyes like your brother. 😀

You have been the best baby. I seriously can't complain about you. You sleep so much! And you hardly ever cry. I had someone ask me if you ever cry! Only when Bently picks on you or you're SUPER hungry. Other wise you are happy as can be. Speaking of Bently picking on you I want to apologize. I really so try hard to keep him away or have him be gentle but he just doesn't get it. He has recently started sticking his fingers so far into your mouth that you gag. It's awful and I try to not let him do it but he is sneaky and fast!! Ill work on it though okay?

You smile all the time. I think you are just so happy to be out of my cramped yummy. :) seriously though we catch you smiling all the time. And every time is magic! You are super adorable but that cuteness just goes up by a million when you smile. I hope you always remain a happy baby! :) 

The last thing I wanted to mention is you do this face where you pucker your lips. And you do it all the time! It is hilarious. Luckily I've caught it on camera a couple times so we'll be able to enjoy your cute little face forever!!! :) 

I love you so much miss Olivia. (By the way that's what your dad calls you! Miss Olivia :) I can't get enough of my sweet little girl! I still can't believe I have a daughter. :) 

I love you so much squeaker.
Mom

Dear Baby Girl,

Still not willing to say what you're name is 100%. I just want to see you first! But seeing you feels like it will never happen! My due date is this Thursday and to be honest it still feels like a million years away! I was so sure I was going to have you early and it royally has screwed me up. Haha. Now that it looks like you'll take your sweet time like your brother it's making me cranky. Your Dad has been so good to me in my emotional state! I am just so ready to meet my little girl! I can't believe we are here. In the home stretch! I am getting so anxious and excited! :) I hope I remember how to do all the new born stuff. I pulled out a newborn diaper the other day and couldn't believe that you will be small enough to fit in it! There is no way Bently was ever that small right? :)

My symptoms have reached the yucky stage again. The stage were there are more bad symptoms than good! But one symptom I love is being able to feel pretty much every little movement you make! I love the connection I get to have with you before you are even born! You probably won't understand till you have your own babies, (I didn't) but it's pretty much amazing! Feeling you move in my tummy is like no other feeling/experience. It makes me smile every time! My other symptoms are the yucky ones. I am extremely swollen! Like a lot. Like I've been wearing just socks to work now for 2 weeks because my feet won't fit in my work shoes! Good thing I sit at a desk all day! ;)  I also just feel yucky all the time. I've been feeling really sick to my stomach which is not fun. I thought I was over that after the first trimester! The last symptom is braxton hicks. I never had one with Bently but with you I have them all the time! Multiple times a day. Sometimes multiple times an hour. I hate them so much not because they're uncomfortable (though they are) but because they get my hopes up. Every time I start to think, "maybe this is it!" I let myself get all excited and then nothing. Then I feel stupid and extra sad when I don't get to meet you! :( I need to stop doing that to myself. I told your Dad we'll probably have you on the side of the road because when the actual time comes, I won't believe it! ;)

You are so loved little one. I can't even tell you how much your Dad and I look forward to meeting you! How much we talk about you! I love you so much! Please don't make me wait too much longer to meet you k? I would love it if you came before Thursday! ;) But whenever you decide to come I will be patiently waiting!

Love,
Mom

Dear Baby Girl,

Yup. I got cold feet about the name Kaitlyn so now we're back to square one. Haha. I am so lucky that you have the best daddy in the world and he is super patient with your Mommy. To be honest I'm leaning more towards Olivia. We want to name you Olivia after Greg's grandma. She is amazing! NO joke! Seriously she is pretty much my most favorite person in the entire world! I love her like she is my own grandma and claim her to be mine. I hate it that she's technically Greg's grandma and not mine. :( I guess it'll be a surprise for everyone when we announce your name eh?

You this past week are making yourself very known! You're kicks and movements are so strong now! It's fun watching my whole stomach shift and change shape. I think you are getting a little crammed in there. :) Feeling you move is the best part of pregnancy! I love every kick and roll I get to feel! There is nothing like it. I already love you so much! :)

Today I am 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Only 54 days till I get to meet your cute face. It doesn't seem real that it is SO close! I am so excited and kind of freaking out. Working full time makes it really hard to get things ready for you! We have your clothing washed and your crib set up so we're pretty much ready right? I just want everything to be perfect. It's quite possible I'm going through the nesting phase because I want to deep clean every inch of the house! ;)

Let's talk about all the not so fun symptoms I've been having. Haha. I don't remember being this big or miserable with Bently. Litterally, when I try to roll over in bed I remind myself of watching whales roll in the water. It takes so much effort. Also I recently have been having a hard time breathing. I don't know if you are squishing my lungs or what but I seriously can't catch my breath. Mostly I just feel huge and heavy. Moving is exhausting. I can't walk for long periods of time without feeling like I need a 3 hour nap. It is really rough! I don't tell you these things to make you feel bad. It's not your fault and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat to have you! I tell you so that you can appreciate what I've gone through to get you here! :)

I love you so much little girl! Your Dad and I are so excited for you to join our family! You were loved and prayed for before we even knew we were pregnant with you. We can't wait to meet you in under 2 months!

Love,
Your Mama

Dear Kaitlyn,

That's right, I think we finally have a name for you. Kaitlyn. As of right now you are Kaitlyn. I know random right? Not even either name we were considering. But as of now you are kaity or katy or however you choose to spell it!!! It still doesn't seem real that you are a girl! I have a drawer full of pink things thanks to your great grandma Stetson and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that you are a girl! I'm so excited, don't get me wrong, I just am in denial! I am going to have a princess. :)

You have finally started to move a lot more! At least more that I can feel! It's so exciting and I love it! You are a tease though! You'll be moving and then as soon as daddy or I put our hands on my stomach you stop. Nothing! Haha! You keep us on our toes!

Today I was thinking about how lucky I am to have you growing healthy inside of me! After suffering the 2 miscarriages I didn't think I was ever going to be able to have another little one. I am so incredibly grateful for the chance to be your mom. For the chance I have to carry another baby! I am the luckiest girl in the world! Only 85 more days till your due date! AHH!!!

Love,
Mom
