A Love So Great

I never felt so much love and joy before than during this pregnancy. I look forward to meeting Adelle for the first time. I think I will be crying and full of joy, excitement, and so on! I watch TLC's A Baby Story series and I cry! I cannot wait to meet yo, Adelle. I am going to love you the best I know how. I know that I have been so loved by God and I will love you the way that God has loved me. You are fearfully and wonderfully made; God knows your development. He knows the number of hairs on your head. He knows your every heartbeat. You are so loved. Your mom and dad love you so much!

37 Weeks Today

Hi Adelle, you are running out of room in mommy's belly. I love you and daddy does too. We love you and look forward to seeing you when you choose to get here. We hope you want to come a few days early. You were moving a lot today--I think you know you need more room. I am excited to rest and relax before you get here. I will get pampered this week and let you relax too. :) We get to meet you soon!

Letter to Baby at 35 Weeks

To our sweet princess, Adelle,
I am writing you this letter on behalf your dad and I at the end of 35 weeks. We are so blessed with you as our special gift. We want to let you know how blessed you are. You are fearfully and wonderfully made and we want you know grow up and know that full well just like the scriptures. We are overwhelmed with love for you. You are getting bigger and bigger and we love feeling you move. Mommy is teaching an ESL camp in the mornings from July 11th to July 22nd and the children from Taiwan are so happy to know you are going to be in this world. Mommy has had dreams where you were pushing against my belly so hard, I could see your hand print and foot print; also, I had a dream you were ready to come out and you stuck your hand out--please stick your head out first. :)Daddy got a gift from a lady we will called Great-Grandma Georgia; she painted a piece in 2005 but it's of a woman holding her baby girl and she says it's "Sudea and Adelle." You are so blessed and so loved. Your dad and I are so blessed and so loved and we thank God for every good and perfect gift that comes from Him.

*Love, Daddy and Mommy

Letter to Baby at 34 Weeks

Dear Adelle, you are 34 weeks now and though you are just anywhere from 4.5 to 5.5 lbs you are a big baby for a little mama like me. Your dad and I are so excited that in about 6 weeks we will meet you and get to love you all the time. We will get to house sit for the Castros and then we will be closer and closer to your expected arrival date. They live off the river, so your dad and I will get to have picnics and I will get to dip my feet it--it's probably too cold to keep my feet in the river. We are awaiting a stroller and a rocking chair before you come to complete your gear and room. We can't believe we get to be your mom and dad! What a blessing you already are to us and our friends and family!

Love, Mom and Dad
