Dearest Baby,
Tomorrow I will be six weeks pregnant. When I was six weeks pregnant with your brother, we had our first ultrasound and glimpse at him. This time around, I won't be going to the doctor for another three weeks and I am not sure when we will "see" you for the first time. This part of pregnancy is full of worry and I want to see you. My baby. Growing inside me healthy and happy. I have been feeling pretty lousy and tired, so I know that everything is going along how it should be, but I still want that reassurance that the doctors office brings. I have also been really emotional and have felt a roller coaster ride of feelings the past couple weeks. As a family unit, we have a lot of "things" going on with us right now and so I am sure my crazy hormones aren't helping keep us on an even keel.
Luckily, your brother and I are going home to Chicago for a nice long visit on Friday. I am sure the time will fly by and then I will be home for our next checkup. I can't wait to tell the Grandparents about your arrival. I can't wait to tell everyone, but we are waiting for a little while to spread the news. In the mean time, keep doing what your doing. Dig deep and make a nice cozy home for yourself!
I love you,
Mom

Baby B2
Dearest Baby-
It is the day after we found out that we are expecting you. Your Daddy, Owen (your big brother), and I are beyond thrilled to be expanding our family. When I was expecting your brother, I wrote a series of letters to him to record how much he was loved. I intend to do the same with you. You are loved. I know that this pregnancy is going to be different from the first and that is only natural. To be honest, I feel better prepared and less anxious for the pregnancy part. But parenting two children will be a whole different ballgame and another challenge in our lives. Let's hope your ole Mom and Dad are up for it!
Right, now I am feeling pretty good. We are all getting over a family "funk" that we caught during the holidays, so I am not sure if what I am feeling is you or just the tail end of a nasty cold. Today I went to the doctor to have a confirmation blood test and they told me your due is September 20, 2010. What a beautiful way to spend next fall! Your big brother will be almost two years old when you arrive. We hope and pray that you all will be close enough to grow up as best friends. I have already been dreaming of you and what you will become. We don't have any doctor appointments until next month and we aren't spreading the word of your arrival for a couple months. So we have you all to ourselves! In a few weeks, we are going to visit your Grandparents in Chicago so we will tell them face to face. They will be thrilled and will be almost as anxious for your arrival as we are. Your cousin Wilkin is due to be born this summer, so there will be a whole lotta baby going on! I promise to write soon, as I have time or updates to share with you. Sleep well, my baby. I love you.
