Sixteen Week, Letter to Bentley

Tuesday November 16, 2010

Sixteen weeks pregnant this week, getting close. Now that I'm getting bigger I'm looking forward to people asking and looking. I want you dad and I to take our Christmas pictures when my tummy shows a lot, so we can see you too. Your dad is excited for your arrival but he doesn't understand why I am trying so hard to get your room and everything done for you. Daddy and I have a dance to go to this weekend. We went to it last year too. Next year, you'll be with us. They have great food, a silent auction and an amazing band. The band that plays at the dance are the Emeralds. They are Great Baba and Gido's favorite. They seem very excited and involved with your arrival. We are excited to share that with everyone. Take your time and grow for us.

Fifteen Week, Letter To Bentley

Tuesday November 9 2010

I had my second prenatal appointment yesterday. I heard your heart for the first time. I cried. Hearing it made everything so real! I am happy that you are in there. Your dad wishes he was there to hear it too, and he will next time. Our ultrasound is nearing and I am so very excited to see that. Your dad will be there the whole time. I know I'll cry there. Maybe daddy will cry too. I'll be about nineteen weeks when we go for the ultrasound. ?Four more weeks to go. I hope they go by really fast. I want to see you. I have had what I think is a nice pregnancy so far. Some pregnancy stories I have heard make pregnancy sound terrible and others sound great. I'm still not worried about labor or birth. Everything will be perfectly fine. All I can ask is that you are safe and healthy. I know you will be. Your dad and I will be at ease when we see you.

Fourteen Weeks, Letter To Bentley

Tuesday November 2 2010

Fourteen weeks now baby, second trimester. I woke up with a sore side this morning. O hope it means tgar my tummy will start growing more. I am so excited that you will be here soon but it feels like forever. YOur dad is more impatient though. He just doesn't seem to want to wait. I really don't either but you need time to grow as big as you can and come out when your ready. I am not really nervous about anything. When you are old enough I'll tell you all about being pregnant and becoming a parent. It's an experience I'll never forget. I like to think that your dad will remember too. We still talk about you non-stop and discuss you with friends and family. Everyone will love you. They will tell you how excited mommy and daddy were and how often we talked about you. You'll get tired of all the stories. But you'll hear them all the time, probably forever.

Thirteen Weeks, Letter To Bentley

Wednesday October 27 2010

This week I am thirteen weeks pregnant. Time is going by pretty fast. Your father is so excited he can hardly wait. He is going to make such a good dad. You'll be his little buddy, his everything. We have so many plans for you. I can't even express the way we feel about having you in our lives. One day when you are old enough we will tell you the story of the day we met. I'll tell you how your dad was so handsome and he took my breathe away. It was love at first sight. We have been through so much and we never knew what would happen next. I'll never stop loving him. He's perfect. We will be together forever. And when you get here we will have our fairy tale ending. All of us forever.

Twelve Weeks, Letter To Bentley

Thursday October 21 2010,

I am getting close to my second trimester. Twelve weeks along now. And I'm getting more and more excited. Only six more months. I got my license this week, on Monday to be exact. It went well, your dad was very supportive. He gave me the Cobalt  to drive and bought a 1995 Firefly. But when I was on my way to see Tina and Grandma, I drove into a truck and smashed the head light. I cried a lot but your dad helped me calm down and got the head light fixed. It cost more then I would have liked it too but it needed to be fixed. I have been pretty scared to drive but I have been trying. Your dad is the greatest man you will ever meet. He is caring, handsome, funny and he'll be an amazing father. He is a great man. Soon you'll learn all of these things for yourself.

Eleven Weeks, Letter To Bentley

October 14 2010

It's been eleven short weeks and I still can't wait! Thanksgiving was on Monday and we went to Grandma's for dinner, your Uncle Cody and Great Grandma Dubious were also there. It was a very good day and dinner was amazing. I worked yesterday. I wish I could work more, but on the other hand, I don't. You have been giving me back pain lately. I hope it goes away soon, but I was prepared for it. There isn't much going on this week, but next week we will be busy. I go for my license on Monday, get my flu shot, then on Tuesday I go to my councilor and I work Wednesday and Thursday. Friday all I have planned is relaxing. I am worried about what we are going to do with your room, it's a mess. I want to decorate it for you. I still can't wait till you get here. Everything will be so great. We will be the most perfect family. No matter what, your dad and I will always love you. Your our number one! Forever and ever.

Ten Weeks, Letter To Bentley

Friday October 8 2010

Today was my first prenatal appointment. It went very well. I got lots of magazines to read and some free stuff for you. I had my first pap smear and got tons of blood work done and a urine test. I went by myself because your daddy had to work. You're ten weeks now, and I am really excited to feel you move and see you on the ultrasound. That won't be for a little while yet, but soon enough you'll be waking us up in the middle of the night. It has been a great experience so far and I'm sure it'll only get better. Thanksgiving is this weekend. Lucky me daddy gets Monday off too. I want you to be healthy and big. I can't wait to hold you. There are so many people your dad and I want you to meet. Your such a blessing to us. We have been working hard to set up for you. Everything will  be perfect for you. I promise.
