Week 20

Dear Baby D2,

 

Once upon a time, there was a couple who found out they were pregnant.  The mommy wanted to keep the gender a surprise and the daddy said he didn't, but appeased his wife.  The daddy made the mommy promise (and actually shake on it) that if they were to be blessed with another child, they would find out the gender.  Two years later, when the couple was expecting their second child, the daddy admitted that it was pretty cool not knowing if they were having a boy or a girl the first time.  So, the mommy left the decision of finding out the baby's gender completely up to the daddy.  The day came for the anatomy sonogram... And guess what!?!!  They didn't find out!

 

That's right, little one...that story is about your mommy and daddy...and we're going to let you surprise us just like we let your brother! 

 

Looking back, I feel like I had a hunch I was going to have a boy with Frankie.  But I honestly haven't a clue with you!  At first I thought you were going to be a girl - then I really started to think boy.  Your daddy had a dream that we were having another boy.  I guess we'll have to wait another 20 weeks to find out! 

 

Boy or girl, we were so relieved to hear the doctor tell us that everything looked and measured perfectly during the anatomy sonogram.  We saw your ten little fingers and ten little toes.  We saw you moving around and putting your hand to your face.  The doctor told us we "have a mover".  You were comfy on my left side, which I feel like is your preference.  I can really tell that the left side of my tummy is slightly bigger than the right, most of the time.

 

We're halfway there, sweet Baby D2.  Take your time growing and developing - And I'll be here to hold you when you're ready to reveal your surprise.

 

Love Always,

Mommy
