Dear Baby Girl,
Words can't describe how excited the world and the people in it are to see you. You are already so loved and so cared for.
The doctors have been telling me for 2 weeks now that you should come any day. Waiting for you has been a whirlwind. Mom has spent lots of time studying and trying to figure out what a contraction feels like. They say you are supposed to have a contraction every 3-5 minutes for an hour, once it has been an hour you need to go to the hospital. Well, for the past 3 days this has been happening to Mom.
Last night while at the hospital for the 2nd time, I learned that my body has been in false labor. Either you don't want to come out yet or my body has no clue what it's doing. Dad and I have gone to the hospital twice and both times have been told that my cervix isn't dilating fast enough and then we are sent home. It's been pretty difficult because of the disappointment we feel, and mom has felt a little crazy and bad for making dad go to the hospital with me so late at night, but Dad continues to be so supportive, patient and loving.
Last night we were spending time with Grandma Jenny and we all thought I was for sure going into labor. Dad and I went to the hospital and as soon as we got there my contractions stopped. I got so frustrated and started loosing hope. Dad offered to give me a blessing. In it he talked about how God is aware of my feelings and love for you, but it is now time to let go and let him take care of it. Dad also said how once you come out, I will feel the love you have for me, because you already know me. He blessed me with patience and love and with a safe and healthy delivery. He said how we will deliver a perfect and healthy baby. This blessing brought me so much peace and I knew that it was my turn to let go of the control and allow God to do what he knows is best. In a previous blessing Dad gave me this week he said how you will be a light to this world and how we will know when you are born exactly why you needed to be born that day. I know this is true.
Mom and Dad are so excited to meet you. Dad cannot wait for you to lay on his chest and take naps. Mom cannot wait to dress you up in the adorable clothes and headbands you've gotten and for the moment you look up at me and smile. We love you so much already and we cannot wait to meet you in a few days.
Please come soon,
Mom
