dear baby. post 2.

*these are letters I wrote to our baby before he was born. we did not find out he was a boy until he was born. some of these letters are well over a year old but that doesn't make the words any less true.

dear baby,

it has been just over a week since we found out about you, and oh, what a week it has been. the beginning of the this week was full of excitement and as much as i tried to keep you a secret from a few close friends, i just couldn’t. we still haven’t officially announced that you are on the way but we will soon, most likely after i go to the doctor.

i didn’t plan to go to the doctor for a few more weeks, but that plan is changing rather quickly. since thursday i have been very nauseous and haven’t been able to eat much. i have been on a diet of mostly ginger ale, saltines, and an occasional bowl of ramen noodles. not super healthy, but that is basically all i can keep down at this point. hopefully i will be able to go to the doctor soon and get some medicine to help reduce the nausea.  it is pretty miserable but i know that it’s a good sign and that you must be growing and happy and healthy, which is just what i want.

i can’t wait to hear your little heartbeat, find out your official due date, and get word from the doctor that everything is a-okay. i haven’t decided on what doctor to go to yet but it will happen this week.

stay healthy little one. and please let mama keep some food down these next few weeks.

i love you, baby.

love,

mama.
