Letters to the Baby- #5

Dear Little One,

This morning I lay in bed and felt you move around. Your kicks were so strong that I could see my stomach move up and down when you moved.

Tomorrow marks the 25th week of my journey with you and I am nearing the end of my second trimester. We only have a little over 3 months to go before I get to meet you! Though I'm not happy with the mild soreness, heartburn, indigestion or decreased mobility of pregnancy, it is nice to always have a little person with me.

You have 3 cousins who are anxiously waiting to meet you. The ones who are old enough to understand that I am going to have you like to hug and pat my belly and greet you. I hope you will become good friends with all your cousins.

I also hope you look a lot like your dad. He has dark hair, tan skin, and dark eyes. Maybe you will be like a miniature version of him. Neither of us is very tall, so you will probably be pretty short, too, but there are advantages to that.

There is still so much I don't know about life and getting along with others, little one. How am I ever supposed to teach you? I wish you had a mother who would knows what to do in every situation ...but instead you have me.

The only thing of any value that I really have to give you is the word of God. I will do my best to teach you about God and his Word and His Son Jesus and how you can be saved from your sins and have abundant life, like me.

Well that's enough for now, little one, I need to take another nap.

Love- Mom
