My Dear Sweetheart,
Mom and Dad saw you for the first time today and it was an incredible experience. I was also overwhelmed because this was the first time it became real. When Dad and I lost our first baby due to miscarrying it was heart breaking and it has made me really nervous during your pregnancy because I don't want to loose you too.
Dad and I were trying really hard not to tell anyone at the beginning, but slowly our families started to figure things out. When we told them everyone was so excited, you have been wished and wanted here for a while now. We asked everyone to help pray for my body that it would be strong and healthy during this pregnancy and I have felt it. We have had so many people tell us that we are in their prayers every night, Aunt Maren and Aunt Anna pray for you and mom each night in their family prayers before they go to bed, Grandma A and Grandma S have also been fervently praying for us. These prayers have meant the world to me, they have made all the difference and I fully believe that they have helped me during these first few weeks of pregnancy.
Not gonna lie, this time of life has been really hard for Dad and I. Dad seems to always be running around with his head cut off. He is trying to balance being the EQ President in our family ward, working a full time position in half the time, a full time student and a husband to your crazy mom while also trying to balance extended family time and friends. I feel so bad for him, I don't think he has gotten a break in months. Mom misses him so much and wished he had more time to spend at home, especially during the holidays. Mom has been trying to finish up her last semester of classes while preparing for student teaching next semester. Mom is currently working 3 jobs with no car to drive me around, but I'm learning that you and I both need our daily walk to feel okay. Next semester Mom has to quit her main job, so Dad and I are both really worried about our finances for these next couple months. Mom also doesn't know what she wants to do with her future. I will have about 4 months before you come into the world and that will be during the summer, July 21st to be exact. I don't know what type of job I will get because I know I can't just sit around for those month doing nothing. Once you come, I have no clue if I will want/have to work. We don't know where we want to move, we know we need to move so you can have a bedroom to sleep in and have enough room to store all the fun furniture and toys you will need, but we have no clue if we want to try and stay in Provo in our ward now or move up closer to Salt Lake where Dad works.
We are so excited for you to come but I also have no idea how life is going to work out when you do come. Mom is a planner, I like to have everything scheduled out and figured out, so this time has been quite stressful knowing I have no control over what is going to happen for our future. Even though so many things have been up in the air and I have been so overwhelmed with life, I can't express how grateful I am that God has given Mom and Dad this opportunity to raise you. You are so loved. We can't wait to meet you. We love you.
Love,
Mom
