My Dear Little Baby

My Sweet Baby,
Oh I can't believe how big you are already! I still feel like I am in the dazed I-can't-believe-I'm-for-real-pregnant dream. But no, my growing belly tells me otherwise. As do you, every morning when you wake me up at 5am promptly with your kicking.
On a side note, dear baby, I could use to sleep past 5am. If you feel like kicking and poking at that hour, could you maybe get it all over with in a few minutes so I can go back to sleep still before morning?
It is adorable that you are so predictable with that.
And here we are, 24 weeks into this pregnancy. It is going by so fast! People always say it goes by quicker each pregnancy.
Yes, I can vouch for that. It really does. Only 16 weeks left! Where has the time gone?!
We are officially looking for a home. Our next home that will, God willing, be ours.
We know it might be a bit hard to find. We want something with a bigger than town sized yard this time around, and we want to stay by the same little town that we currently live in. And, when you live in a place with only 1,000 other people, there's not exactly a lot on the market at any given time....
So, we are looking and hoping the right thing comes along before you are ready to be born.
There has been a lot on my mind to get lined up here. This house thing has been making me pull my hair out. It is stressful, to feel like we have a time limit on finding a home.
And to have things in limbo. We know (or rather, hope) to be moving in the next little bit, but don't know if it will actually happen, or when. (You will learn quickly that your momma is a planner! To a fault!)
Then I look ahead, and think that in less than 4 months I will be holding you! I will be kissing your sweet smelling face and downy little head. Breathing your baby smell in. Telling you sweet baby stories when I'm rocking you to sleep. Staring into your newborn eyes and giving you so much love, the kind of love that knows nothing else matters. Being tired from being awake at night and taking sweet baby naps with you when your Daddy is home with your 2 big brothers.
Oh how I love you! I cannot wait to meet you.
Sweet little baby, you are my little precious love and I am so very very blessed to have you. Grow big and strong for a few more months, and then when you're ready, I can't wait to meet you!
With all the love in my heart,
Your Momma
