1/24/11 -Later

Dear Ginny,
I sit here in class thinking of you. Remembering all the sweet moments that I have with you already. Like the fact that I wanted to be a mother since I was a little girl. Or the fact that I was scared that I would never get the chance to be pregnant. The day I found out that I was pregnant with you was so amazing to me. Your father was the one who actually told me the test was positive. How much of a shock was evident on my face at that time. I was thrilled to be pregnant with you and still are. When we were ten weeks a long we had the pleasure to go to the doctors and get a sonogram. We found out that your due date is May 3rd, 2011. We are thrilled to meet you around then. To see you so small then was amazing. You looked like a little gummy bear. It made the whole pregnancy seem real also to hear your heartbeat at the moment.
So far the pregnancy has been pretty easy other then last night. I haven't had any morning sickness at all and no bleeding. It's been a pretty easy ride and I hope that will keep going. Ginevera Lynne, I love you more then you realize. You make me smile every time you kick me. I hope that you will contune to grow and learn how to breathe that you will be a healthy baby because I am doing as much as I can to help you.
Love you,
Mommy

1/24/11

Dear Ginevera,
This weekend has had a major scare. On Friday morning I woke up in pain and was in the bathroom a lot that morning. Saturday morning was the same way other then I was having cramps off and on. Through the day on Saturday I barely felt you move which is very unsual. Sunday, I was feeling fine but the cramps were worse. Also you weren't moving around a whole lot. Your dad told me to call the nurses but I didn't want to seem like a first time mom worried about nothing. So I called my mom who then creamed me out. So I called and they told me to come in. We spent three hours hooked up to machines. Thank goodness you had a steady heartbeat in the 150's and all the nurses were impressed that I was only twenty-five weeks along. I was given an iv to see if your movements would pick up. You were moving a ton after that and even more so after they gave me the apple juice. Finally, we were able to go home and relax.
Ginny, please stay put until at least 37 weeks. Mommy would love to see you now but its too early still. You still need to grow and become strong and healthy. I love you so much and I don't want you to be in danger. So please stay longer its only eleven weeks more at least.
Love you,
Mommy

01/21/11: Day after a Sonogram


My Darling Little Girl,
Yesterday, we had a doctor's appointment. It was another chance for me to see you inside of me. I love having sonograms because its a way for me to see how healthy you are and how much you are growing. During the sonogram you were moving a ton which was so neat to see and feel at the same time. You kept kicking me as she tried to do the facial mesurements. Several times you were moving your hands to your face. At one point you even glasp your hands together. At one point you bounced off of me which was funny to feel and see. Now I know what causes that feeling. The doctor said that you are healthy and my uterus is measuring 27 weeks which is okay for now. Please Ginevera, Mommy begs of you not to be a ten pound baby.
Last night, I finished homework then scanned in your pictures that we got at the doctor's appointment to my computer to make sure that we will always have copies. Each picture brought a smile to my face. It still amazes me that I have you growing inside of me. You amaze me through everything. To see your little fingers in the ultrasound and to know that you are half of my genes. You are also half of your fahter's genes makes you so special. I always dreamed of this moment but never realized how amazing special it really is. No matter how much anyone tells me that you are healthy, I worry about you. I worry that something bad is going to happen between now and your birth. Nothing can really ease this worry.
At this moment you are sending me gentle kicks to remind me of you inside of me. It keeps me going strong and moving on.
I love you so very much.
Love,
Mommy

Introduction

To the Audience,
This blog is letters from me (Mother) to my daughter as she grows up into a lovely young lady. Right now, I am still pregnant with her and I talk about her all the time. I wanted a place where I can write my feelings, dreams, and hopes for her as she grows up. Also I wanted a place where I could talk about the first moment that I saw her, felt her, and even touch her. As I am twenty-five weeks along there were some first that I have missed on writing. So...let me catch you up.

August 29th, 2010: My husband and I found out we are expecting.
September 2nd, 2010: Doctor's confirmed pregnancy.
September 4th, 2010: We announced to our families that we were expecting.
October 7th, 2010: We got to hear the heartbeat for the first time and also see Ginevera. Found out that I was ten weeks and 2 days along in my pregnancy. She looked like a gummy bear.
November 2nd, 2010: Fourteen weeks along and starting to get a baby bump.
December 18th, 2010: 20 weeks along and felt my stomach twitch and realized it was Ginevera kicking.
December 23rd, 2010: 21 weeks and 2 days along. My mom, my mother-in-law, my best friend, and Stephen all came to the ultrasound to find out we are having a little girl.
December 24th, 2010: Stephen put his head on my baby bump as if he could hear her and she kicked him in the face.
December 31st, 2010: While playing on the wii. Kicks were showing on my belly.
January 9th, 2010: My mom felt Ginny kick for the first time.

That's it...can't wait to show you the letter I am working on.
