Dear baby,

Dear baby, 
You are eight weeks old and I still can't believe you are really there.  We saw your tiny little bean self at the doctor's last week and we relieved to see your little heart flickering fast!
The first time around when we wanted to get pregnant we had to go through a whole lot.  Lots of praying and a lot of things that were really hard.  You were an easy, sweet surprise.  We were praying for you and hoping for you, but did not think we'd get you so easily.  I still have a hard time believing that I am really pregnant. 
There has been so much healing in this pregnancy already.  We found out we were pregnant by taking a test when we were on vacation in Florida.  We got to surprise our families and tell them about you and it was so much fun.  Your sweet life is healing some pain that I did not know still existed from things we went through years ago.  What a blessing you are already.  
While I have felt quite sick already this pregnancy, I've had less worries and felt more at peace this time around.  I'm trusting that God is in control and that we will get to hold your cute self in March. And we couldn't be more excited.   Your sister already touches my belly, talks to you and tells you she loves you.  I'm sure you will recognize her voice just as much as mine!  
I already dream about your name, what you will look like, what your personality will be and our life as a family of four.  We could not feel luckier that you get to be ours and we can't wait to meet you.  I love you sweet baby!
Love, your mom

Thank you SO much for all your excitement, comments and congratulations when we announced we're having a girl! We really couldn't be more excited!

Despite my closed eyes I'm still sharing this picture. In honor of Dr. Suess' birthday my team dressed up as the "things" and even baby Vale got to participate.  I lost my shirt from last year, so I wore this instead.   I finished my first baby room project. After seeing this adorable print on pinterest I wanted to copy.  I used a canvas that I already had, drew the elephant and used the top of a spray can to make the dots.  I had to use the paintbrush to go over many missed spaces and to even out the circles.

These are the colors we're planning on using for the room. I can't wait to hang it and add two others to each side.  Now to decide what to put on them! 
Hope you're having a good week!
