My dearest bundle of joy,
Just 3 weeks ago, the doctors confirmed my pregnancy. At first, I was overwhelmed, but it has taken its time to set in on me that I am going to be a mommy. It's a bit scary, to be honest, but your grandma and grandpa make it seem just the opposite.
Everyone around us is making sure I have all the things I will need. I already have a car seat, clothes and a bassinet!! Everyone is so excited. Well.... Almost everyone.
Your daddy and I.... Well, we are supposedly still together, but he hasn't talked to me since just before I found out we would be parents. I'm not sure if he's overwhelmed, scared, or if he is leaving us... But I am hoping for the best. I want you to have everything. A full family, clothes on your back, food in your belly, and a roof over your head. I'm trying hard not to stress over your daddy, but it's hard. I love your daddy with all my heart. Most of his family knows and are excited, but I'm not sure about him... After years of dating, and months of talking about starting a family, you'd think he'd be all in. But let's change the subject to a happier tone <3
April 2, 2015. That is the date we finally get to see you. I am all set up for a sonogram that afternoon. Mommy is so anxious to get your first picture for your baby book!! Your grandma has agreed to go with me to every appointment, for that extra support. I know seeing you for the first time, even through a sonogram,is going to make momma emotional. It's only been 9 weeks and I already love you so much.
I have to say. Being pregnant is a blessing, but the symptoms are sometimes unbearable. My food cravings include; tuna sandwiches with cream cheese and pickles, French fries and ranch dressing, buffalo wings with nacho sauce, snap peas, a lot of fruit and any kind of pretzels. The more I eat, the less morning sickness bothers me. I still feel sick to my stomach, but nothing more.
Waiting for the doctor to send me a script for prenatal vitamins. Been taking flinstones chewable tablets in the meantime. I'm starting to show, but only a little. After next month it will be noticeable.
I decided to breastfeed, because it is good for both of us. It will give you antibodies to fight colds or infections and all your nutrients. Plus I don't trust formula. A mother produces milk for a reason :)
I am so excited to meet you my baby. <3
Love always and forever,
Mommy
