Dear Baby Brody,

I think I am beginning to experience bits and pieces of what it feels like to be a mom. Feeling you move inside me gives me so much comfort to know that you are growing stronger and stronger everyday. I go to sleep thinking about you and wake up thinking about you. Even though you are the most active during the night, the lack of sleep actually doesn't bother me. My favorite part about recent nights is being woken up by one of your kicks or turns and being able to just lay there, with my hand on my growing belly, feeling all your little movements. Your dad feels you move all the time too. Whenever we are relaxing, he always has one hand on my stomach, just in case you make a little kick. He talks to you too. I don't know what he says to you because he puts his mouth real close and whispers things to you. I ask what he says, but his reply is that it is just secrets between you and him. He loves you so much, and reminds me of that everyday. Getting your room ready for when you arrive is one of my favorite things to do lately. I love organizing and reorganizing all of your cute clothes, toys, books, and supplies. I can't wait to finally meet you in April. I wonder what it will feel like to not have you inside of me anymore after so many months. While organizing our large storage closet the other day, the tub I was stupidly standing on tipped over, causing me to crash right on my bum. What normally would have been a small fall, was one of the most terrifying things that has happened to me in the past 6 months. I realized how important it is for me to be more careful, since I need to take care of my little guy inside of me. I sat on the couch, very still until I felt you move, reassuring me that you were okay. I look forward to when you are here so that I can look at you and know for sure that you are healthy and perfect, just the way you should be. It's weird how you can love something so much without even laid eyes on it yet. That is the way I feel about you. You already make such a difference in both your dad's and my lives. You make me feel important and special. I am so lucky to be able to have the opprotunity to be your mom.

Love always,
Your Mommy
