Letter to Baby at 33 Weeks

Dear Baby A,
We had four baby showers from friends and family; you are so loved. We have your room set up except for that wonderful rocking chair. We are thinking about you everyday. Friends and family think about you, too. I found out that you have far away visitors after you are born--that is if you get here early or on time. Your dad and I are so amazed how you are loved and how we are loved. You have been playing a lot this week; a little bit last week you decided to get up around 3AM and played for four hours for two days. I know you are getting momma ready for when you get out and are in our arms. We love you and hope that you have fun growing and being super cute. We will write you next week. You will be at 34 weeks and only 6 weeks left. Just so you know, you can come a little early! :)

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Letter to Baby at 32 Weeks

Dear Baby A, we so excited that the weeks keep cutting down closer and closer to your due date. I sure hope you come one time as to what is estimated. Just so you know, I tear up when I think about bringing you home. I think about how sweet it will be when your daddy and your grandma give you your first bath. You are so precious and so dearly loved. I pray that when you grow older into a teenager you will love because you were first loved. God has blessed your dad and I with you. We are so loved, too! I wanted to tell you about your grandpa today; we (grandma, your daddy, uncle Lucas, and I) treated him real special today. Your dad also got gifts from grandma. We are so happy to be your parents already. Keep on eating and growing baby girl. You have great people in your life, baby girl. We shall see you in about 8 weeks! Today marks 55 days left.

Letter to Baby at 31 Weeks

Dear Baby A, we are so excited to meet you. I know I say it all the time, but we are! We have no other feelings than joy, excitement, goodness, etc. Today marks 60 days until you get here if you are on schedule. We're okay if you come a few days early or a week or two early! We had a baby shower that Aunt Susan and Aunt Jovie or Ohm Susan and Ohm Jovie threw for us. You have a lot of stuff already, baby! We have your crib set up; so you will be ready for sleep! We also have your bassinet, blankets and co-sleeper close to ready. We have a few more baby showers and a few things to move around before you get here! I wanted to tell you that you love dancing in my belly and I can't wait to see that fun dancing you do when you're in my arms or your dad's arms. As I am writing you this letter you are so excited. You're dancing a lot. I love it; your daddy loves it when you are playing and he's talking to you or praying at night. We smile when we think about you.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

Letter to Baby at 30 Weeks

Dear Baby A, you are growing so much. I wish I could show you how my belly moves when you move in it. One day, I get to hold you, my little wiggle worm. We notice that you enjoy your dad's voice and move a whole lot when he talks. I love seeing you move to him talking to you. Today, we got a free movie and watched it today. Also, I registered for some dresses for you. Your dad, your grandpa, and I went to Costco today. Grandpa bought us some dinner. I got some cleaning done around the house today in your room. We will have to take some time in the next few weeks to clean your room and get ready for you! The weather has been nice for you and I lately, but I think it will be very warm in the next few days. Love, Momma and Dadda

Letter to Baby at 29 Weeks

Hi Baby A, We forgot to write you during week 28! We're sorry, and we know you won't really mind. Welcome to week 29! Can you believe that in a few days you will be 30 weeks along and we'll be at your next appointment? I am so excited because that means 10 more weeks and the world is sure waiting for you, my sweetie. Some things we did since 27 weeks: we went camping (Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday daytime only) on the 27t, 28th, 29th. Your daddy, Uncle Steve-o, and mommy found our "golden nugget" to bring you and friends to during the warm summers. You will love it. We let you listen to lots of Mozart and also sing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Most nights your daddy reads you "Goodnight Moon." He started replacing "moon" with your name. We have been getting little things here and there for your room. You will love it. Today, mommy's friend named Jennifer gave you a mobile to hang above your crib. You will love looking at it. Well, we will write you again at 30 weeks.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
