Eighteen Week, Letter To Bentley

Tuesday November 30, 2010

Eighteen weeks has come pretty fast. Almost at the half way point now and so close to the ultrasound. I want to see you so bad, but I'm not the only one. Auntie Tina and Grandma are also very excited. They can't wait to see you on that screen. I am so excited to have your daddy sitting next to me while I lay on the bed and the tech applies that warm jelly to my tummy and begins. I am going to hold his hand the whole time. And after she tells us if you are a little boy or girl, your dad and I will hug and kiss and probably cry too. I am so happy that I am sharing this experience with someone so special. Your dad has been so amazing. I can explain my weird mood swings and dreams without judgement. He has made this experience so much better. He is very supportive and he enjoys listening to me blabber on and on about my pregnancy each week. He brags about you already, and we both know it's only the beginning. Wait till your here, he'll never stop. I am happy to be able to have such an amazing family. I'm blessed to have your father. I don't ever want to lose either of you. I'll cherish every moment we share, even while your in my tummy. I love you.

Seventeen Week, Letter to Bentley

Wednesday November 24, 2010

My tummy feels funny this week, you must be growing. Your dad and I had fun at the dance last Saturday. We bought a blanket and a bird. It's made out of metal or something. Wait till you see it, you'll love it. There must have been something about it because your daddy had to have it. We also bought a Christmas Tree this weekend and I decorated it. It looks beautiful in our living room. Daddy bought a truck a little while ago and it just would not start this week. We will get it fixed as soon as we find out what is wrong with it. Then daddy will be happy.

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.
