Dear Baby,
(This was written at 6 weeks and 3 days)Yesterday was the most amazing day ever, well I guess second to the day we found out about you and the day we told our parents, your wonderful grandparents. I had been waiting for this day my whole life. I have dreamed about being your mother and seeing that tiny little heartbeat on the screen. It was the most surreal and amazing feeling and moment ever. It was such a special moment for us. I almost cant even put into words the way I felt. When I saw that little heart beat flickering on the screen my heart just grew a thousand times and I was in love!! Yes it was love at first sight. There you are my special precious baby beating inside me. The one I have dreamed about and prayed about and here you are. You are still so tiny but yet you have already made such a huge impact in our lives. I know our lives are now forever changed by you. :) I love you so much already and can only imagine how much more my love is going to grow for you in the next months and when I get to hold you for the first time. I still cannot get over the fact that God has chosen me to be your mother. What a wonderful blessing it is. You are truly our little miracle and Mommy and Daddy LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! I just want to savor every moment of this precious time because I know before I can even blink you will be here in my arms. Oh how I can't wait for September to see your beautiful little face. I almost don't even know how to feel, I am just so beyond blessed and overjoyed!! I loved seeing that little heartbeat flicker and hearing it to. What an amazing sound it was, I know it will never get old. We also received our first picture of you and you are on our fridge. You daddy put you up on the refrigerator last night. He is so proud already. :) I know our lives have already changed and you will change our life even more, but it will be for the better. We will get to see your little heartbeat again in just 4 short weeks. I am so thrilled that we are getting another ultrasound at 10 weeks. The doctor wants to check on your growth and progress. This makes Mommy very happy. :) We love you very much Baby Stracener and can't wait to go on this journey these next 8 months.
Love,
Mommy
(I wrote this post because I want to document how I feel throughout this pregnancy. This is such a special time for us and I want to be able to remember how I felt all along the way. I want to be able to look back and read this and also be able to show it to our sweet baby when they are old enough. These moments are so precious and I don't want to stand by and just watch them pass. I want to soak it all in and remember every little detail. If I don't write it down I will never remember everything. I think pregnancy brain is already setting in.)
I am excited for y'all to follow us on this journey and I am so excited to be blogging about it so that my family that is out of state can keep up as well. :)
