40 Week Letter

Gracie,


So let me start by asking how comfy are you in there? I’m really anxious to meet you and you’ve proved me wrong once again. I could have sworn you would be a boy and tears streamed down my face when the ultrasound tech confirmed you were in fact a girl. Daddy and I both wanted a little girl to complete our family. When it came to my guess for your birthday I had a strong feeling you would be here early and surprise us. Well you surprised us by growing right on through your estimated birthday but that’s alright. I tried to comfort Daddy by telling him that you don’t rush a lady when she’s getting ready and you must have been doing something really important. I’ve been trying to hold out to see if you would come on your own but I broke down and let the Dr. schedule a spot for us in the hospital just in case because honestly your Daddy is so excited to meet you I couldn’t say no anymore. Not only am I looking forward to being able to hold you on the outside but I’m really waiting to see you with your Daddy. I wish he could experience all the little kicks and hiccups the same way that I did so you two have a lot of catching up to do. I’m finding it really hard to wait patiently around the house this weekend but I really don’t have the energy for much else and while you may be comfy in there it’s getting hard for me to walk. Your room is all done and waiting for you. Family is checking on us regularly like we might forget to tell them about your arrival. Please cooperate for us when the big day comes.



Love Mama and Daddy
