Dear Baby,

After waiting many weeks to finally find out the big news, we made our way to the ultrasonographer. We were so excited to find out if Brody was going to have a sweet little brother or a precious little sister. 

I laid on the ultrasound bed and we looked at all the different parts of you. From your brain, to your cute little heart, to your little feet, to finally the spot we were all waiting for... you, the little bug that I have just started to feel kick inside of me, are a precious girl. Brody is going to have a little sister. Along with that, you get to have the best big brother.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to watch Brody meet you, and to watch you meet Brody. We are training him to be gentle with you. He even has his own little baby doll so we can teach him words like "gentle" and "soft". I know that with time he will get used to you and be such a gentle and kind older brother. He loves to feed his baby doll, Trey, his fake bottle, when he isn't pretending to drink it himself that is. He also loves to hold Trey gently, swaying side to side, so I know that Brody has great potential to be such a sweet older brother.

I am so excited to have a little girl in our home. Brody and your daddy are the best of friends. Brody loves balls, cars, and making lots of noise. And while I know you will enjoy these things too, I look forward to dressing you in girly outfits, playing house with you, and playing with toys like doll house, just like I used to do as a little girl. 

You have a wonderful Daddy. He is going to love having a little girl so much. I just know he will adore putting little bows in your hair and calling you his little princess. He is such a sweet daddy and you are going to love him so much.

I love being a momma. It is my favorite thing in the whole wide world. And while I know I am constantly making mistakes, I really am trying my very best to be the best mommy I can to Brody and now my sweet little girl. I promise to love you so much, each and every day. I am committed to this Mom thing through thick and thin. And with that, I am truly loving every moment of it. 

The most important thing that the ultrasound told us though is that you are very healthy and are striving well right inside of me. We feel so blessed knowing just that. Just 19 more weeks and I get to kiss that sweet face of your's and soak in that perfect baby smell. 

I love you little girl. 

Love, 

Your anxious momma <3
