Keeping the faith

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt

Dear Bean,

I am very worried and hope that you are healthy and growing. I think this is nature's way of letting me know that I will be worrying about you for your whole life. I am trying to be patient and wait to see you and hopefully, hear your heart beat on June 17th. I called the doctor today, each time I got the answering message. FYI - mommy isn't the most patient person in the world, so I am trying to hold out until the doctor's appointment. I don't think I will make it until the 17th and will try to get an appointment to come in sooner, just to make sure you are okay. Get used to it, kiddo! Mommy will probably make many, many more calls in the future "just to make sure you are okay."

We cannot wait for you to get here!!! This will be the longest, and best 9 months of my life! I hope you are growing and that you are healthy. We already bought you an outfit. Baby, I hope you like monkeys because you are going to be surrounded!!

Love,
Mommy
