dear baby,

yesterday we celebrated independence day with friends and family. it was a wonderful day and i felt especially grateful to be living in such a wonderful place and to be able to have so many freedoms. you are lucky, little one. you will also be born with the same freedoms that i enjoy although the world will be a totally different place by the time you are my age. it has already changed so much in my lifetime, i can’t imagine how it is going to change throughout yours.

the past few days have been great and i haven’t felt sick nearly at all. there are still a few days here and there when i don’t feel great, but i think the majority of my regular morning sickness is past and gone. i couldn’t be happier. nothing is more miserable than feeling sick all day long.

you daddy felt you kick last night. he has felt you a couple times before but this time he really felt you. you are getting bigger and stronger and before we know it, you are going to be keeping me up at night with all your kicking! i can’t wait for that. i love being able to feel you move and know that you are happy and healthy and growing right along.

only a few more days til my 20 week appt and ultrasound. i can’t wait to see you again and am so excited to get some new pictures of you! this will probably be the last time i see you before you are born, which makes me a little sad but i know that you will be growing right along just like you should.

we are almost halfway there, little one! can you believe how far we have come? only 20ish more weeks to go! i can’t wait to meet you! see you soon.

i love you, baby.

love,

mama.
