from Mom
Dear Baby #3,
Oh how I love you! Just a couple months ago, we found out that we had another miracle joining our home...YOU! I can't wait to hold you and meet you and kiss you and smell your sweet newborn breath.
Just last week, I felt you for the first time. I was 12 and 1/2 weeks along at that point. I know they tell you that you can't feel your baby until they are 18+ weeks along, but I have felt both your brother Hyrum and your sister Afton when I was about 14 or 15 weeks along.
On January 2, this year, we got to see you via ultrasound. You were a crazy little jumping bean. The ultrasound tech could barely get a measurement of how big you were because you were doing flips and flailing your arms and lets and jumping all over the place.
I have been very sick with you. Half of a Unisom and a B6 is what I have been taking to help the sickness. The nauseasness was really bad in November and I also had a rib go out which was awful, but the chiropractor whipped me into shape.
I will be 14 weeks on Saturday, which I am happy about because that means that I will be in the second trimester carrying you, my sweet babe.
We told everyone that you would be joining our family with a belated postcard from the "five of us." It was fun to talk to all of your family members that already love you so much and hear how excited they were for you to come to earth.
I love you Baby Murray. I know you will are courageous and strong. I am glad you made the choice to come to earth. You are coming to less than perfect parents that love you so much already. I am working on my weaknesses each day, and hope you will be patient with me as we continue on our journey back to our Heavenly Father together. Recently, my goal is more organization in my life because my lack of it affects our whole family in a negative way. We did a better job last week keeping the house clean and organized. This week we are trying to exercise every day for an hour before dinner.
I can't wait for July...it can't come fast enough!
I love you Baby Murray #3.
Mom
