You switched from “the baby” to “my daughter” on December 14th, and your gender was again confirmed today, since you were pretty modest during our 20-week ultrasound. In the 8 weeks we’ve assumed a little girl is growing inside me, you’ve already changed so much in my life. From checking out frilly dresses every day on zulily to watching tv programs and wishing certain things for your future. From teaching your big brother to ask before assuming girls want to tumble and wrestle to praying over your life from infant to hopefully mother someday.
We are thrilled to see all the new things you will bring to our life. I played with Collin’s animals the other day, and instead of having roles and a story, they were attacking one another. How different it will be with you! We can drive down the road and point out scenery rather than dump trucks. And while Collin went through a determined blue stage where he’d insist on only blue clothing, I can’t wait to see if you go through a princess stage, or pink, or ruffles, or tomboy.
I am delighted to dream about tea parties and picking flowers, leotards and pigtails, baby dolls and art projects, prom dresses and God willing, wedding planning. I hope and pray that our relationship will transition to friendship, that we’ll share the same closeness that I feel towards my mother and she towards hers.
We are so thankful for you already and cannot wait to meet you in May!
