Maggie Moments--Letters from Mommy

I am so in love with you today. As I watch you move, poking out at my belly, kicking at your confines, I can picture you, your little legs kicking, your hands waving about. I love you more and more with every minute. I watch you and I smile a goofy smile, loving you so much that I think I will overflow with it. The whole world can see how much I love you.

I am having so much fun just sitting here watching you poke out at my belly. As I sit here my belly is jumping and shifting as you dance and try to make yourself comfortable in there. I love this so much. It is magical to see and feel just how real you are.

Never doubt how much you are loved and wanted. I love you. I love to feel you, to love you, to know you are coming. As this second trimester nears it's end, all I can think of is how quickly your arrival is approaching. I want your world to be perfect. I love you so much.

Your daddy felt you for the first time last night. We were laying in bed with my belly to his back and you started kicking against his back. I was so glad that he could feel your life the way that I can. It was a truly wonderful moment.

I played the musical dolly for you today and I love to feel you wiggle when I do that. I am just filled with love for you.

Your sister was exceptionally cute today. She came and told me very seriously that she thought she had a baby in her belly because she was feeling sick but she scared to go to the doctor to get it out because she was afraid it would hurt.

I told her she wouldn't have a baby in her belly until she was a grown-up and that when that time eventually comes, the doctor could give her medicine so that it doesn't hurt. (That part was in case she was worried about me)

I felt you kick from the outside last night. We were having our nightly visit and I decided to put my hand where you had been kicking and you gave me a good hard kick and I felt it!!! I was so excited!!

On the moving front it is going slowly. I was hoping to have this done before you are born, but I don't think that will happen now.

I love that I can interact with you now. I know that if I poke you a certain way, you will poke me back. If I play the musical dolly that Big Girl gave you, you will dance. If I drink orange juice, grape pop, or coffee, you will wiggle. I love having that connection between you and I.

You were wonderfully active last night, poking and wiggling. I loved it. I spent hours giggling like a little girl as you made your presence known.

A funny note, every time anyone on television screams or yells, you kick wildly. Prompting me to remind you that you can't see the movie there and you can't possibly be scared.

I love you, Maggie, my little one.

I am so grateful for you. I am glad that you are the kind of baby that you are. It reassures me that you are as fiesty as you are. I know that my friend lost her baby girl at this age and that another friend lost her baby recently and she was the same age as you. But when I get nervous, you poke me, kick me, and nudge me, reminding me just how spunky you are, that you are my little fighter and you are in there waiting for me.

I am imagining your nursery and wondering what kind of themes you might like. Would you like Winnie the Pooh, or maybe Under the Sea would be better. Or maybe, I could play with a white and yellow theme. Should I use stencils? Or maybe paint a mural. It such fun to dream.

I am thinking Winnie the Pooh is the perfect theme for my baby girl's room. All done in soft colors, it would be really sweet.
