Dear Leah,
Today is the last day our dear friend Sarah will watch you. She so graciously agreed to take care of you when I had to go back to work. She has played “mommy” to you since the last week in March up until today. I could not think of a more better person to take on the role of ‘me’ while I was gone!
I’m sure you and her will be very close for a long time and I’m sure Sarah has...
A milestone
Yesterday on May 18th, 2010 you did two big things!
1) You rolled over!! Yay!!!
2) You laughed! It was so cute!
Your Daddy wasn’t too happy because this just means you are getting older. But on the other hand, we both are ecstatic and can’t wait to see what else you’ll do soon! We are so proud!

Dear Leah,
Right now, you are sleeping in my arms and I couldn’t think of a more sweeter place to be. Holding you brings me so much joy and I love every moment I have with you. Thank you for being my daughter! I love you!
Love,
Momma

Dear Leah,
I cannot believe you are already 1 month old! People are right when they say, “time flies”. These past 4 weeks have been an emotional and physical roller coaster! Times of up and down. Seeing your beautiful face and hearing your wailing cries. I would never trade spending time with you during your first month for anything in this world. It has been challenging and...
Dear Leah,
Hi beautiful girl! You are finally here and I’ve been loving every minute with you! You came into this world on February 15th, 2010 at 6:34pm, weighing 9 lbs. 3 oz. and were 20.5 in. long. Absolute perfection!
It has been so much fun playing dress up with you, bathing you, rocking you, singing to you, kissing you, dancing with you! One of my absolute favorite things to do is steal some...

Dear Leah,
Baby girl, I am so ready to meet you it’s almost unbearable! Today is the last day my Dr. is on call before she leaves for Haiti and I was really hoping you would make your debut sometime today. You still may, so we’ll see. It’s so hard to not be selfish during these times! All I want to do is hold you and look at you, but I have to keep telling myself it’s not on my...
Dear Leah,
Well, there’s about 9 days left until your EDD which is February 12th. I cannot tell you how ready and excited I am to finally meet you! I went to the Dr. this past Tuesday for my 38 week appt. She checked me and she said there was really no difference from the last time I was there. I was a little disappointed…ok, a lot disappointed. In the back of my mind I was kind of hoping...

“In my daughter’s eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear...”
– I have always loved this song (by Martina McBride), but today when I heard in in the grocery store I heard it in a whole new light. I was standing in the cereal aisle and tears were rolling down my cheeks as I listened and thought about my sweet daughter Leah.
Dear Leah,
It has been a couple of weeks since I wrote here, but lots of things have been going on! Yesterday you turned 37 weeks! Crazy, crazy, crazy! This time has flown by and I am looking forward to the day I finally get to meet you!
Last week we went to our 36 week appointment and Dr. Rogers said that things were normal and you seemed great! A couple of days ago, we went back to the Dr. and...
Dear Leah,
Yesterday was your Dad’s birthday. He turned 25. I can’t believe he’s 25! I met your Dad when we were both freshmen in High School. We were in the same English class. I remember coming in one day and sitting in a desk and your dad came in and sat behind me. I had seen him before, but never really talked to him. He proceeded to scoot his desk closer to mine and I, in turn,...
Dear Leah,
Yesterday I had another doctor’s appointment. It was my 34 week appointment. They said everything looked great and you are still right on track for being here in February! I did gain a little more weight than I should have over the holidays, but what can you expect with good food all around me? Next week I will start seeing my doctor weekly because you could come any time now…which...

Dear Leah,
We had a great Christmas this year! The day was full with seeing different families and spending time with one another. I’m sure you had a blast because there was a ton of good food all around! One of our Christmas presents this year was your cradle that you’ll be sleeping in for the first couple months of your life. It is really special because it is the same cradle that your...
Dear Leah,
Today was such an eventful day! Your Daddy and I woke up and headed to our regular 32 week appointment for a checkup. The doctor said everything looked great and you were doing perfectly fine! I have gained about 1.5 pounds since our last visit (which is pretty good considering that was over Thanksgiving)! He measured my belly and said I was measuring right at about 33 weeks. You’re...

– Dear Leah, I got this quote off of a blog I love to read called “Dear Baby”. It is so true! I am so excited to be your mom and I promise to always be there for you for as long as I live. Love, Mommy

Dear Leah,
I’ve started a new blog all for you! I thought it would be a good idea to have a blog simply devoted to you and the letters I hope you read one day! You will find all types of letters on here that I hope you will cherish one day and look back on. I already love you with all my heart and I can’t wait to see what this journey of motherhood has for me!
Love,
Mommy
