15 Weeks

Dear Baby,

This week you've grown so much - you're now the size of an apple, and 4 inches long! It's hard to believe that just a couple months ago you were only the size of a tiny little lentil bean.

Right now you're forming taste buds, and you can sense light! If we shined a flashlight on my belly, you'd move away from it. It's so exciting how big you've gotten, baby, and we feel so lucky and blessed that you're in there and growing.

We'll be finding out if you're a boy or a girl in just a month, and we're so excited, baby. Will we have a daughter or a son? Will we be watching fashion shows or playing superheros with you? You already bring us so much excitement and joy, baby, and we can't wait for the future.

But while we know that you're in there, baby, sometimes it just doesn't seem real yet. We've seen photos of you (when you were even tinier than a lentil bean!), and we listen to your heartbeat every week, and I've even felt you move already - but yet you still seem so surreal to us. I imagine that as more time goes by and we really start to feel you moving around (both of us!), you will become very real to us. But sometimes, now, it's still hard to wrap our minds around the idea that you are growing inside of my belly, and oh-too-soon you'll be growing up and endlessly making us laugh and cry as the roller coaster of life unfolds.

We can't wait.

Love,
Mommy

  1. So I know you probably have a jillion ideas of things you would like to do in the nursery - but I love wall decals.
    This website: http://dalidecals.com
    Has tons of neat ideas - even a special nursery category.
    They also have an option where you can have your pictures printed on canvas - could make for a great choice for the nursery especially! :)

    Just thought I would pass along the tip. Target also has neat wall stickers and decals, on a much smaller scale as well. When you finally get registered somewhere let me know! <3

  2. Thanks, Tia - those are really cute decals, and lots of great ideas on that site! I'm always looking for inspiration. :)

    We probably won't start any registries until we know the sex of the baby (which, crossing my fingers, will be soon!), but I'll be sure to let you know where and when we do!
