Dear Baby,
Here's an update for you.
I'm 26 weeks right now. I still have nausea, but as long as I take my medicine, I'm usually okay. I've switched my doctor, so I had my first appointment in about 6 weeks last week. You're still doing great!
If I don't push myself too hard or do anything crazy, most days you move like a crazy lady. I can tell you're still pretty small and can usually easily figure out where you are in my stomach. The other day I was easily able to feel some body part of yours (I really think it was your back), and it was super crazy. As you get a little bigger though it's easier to feel and see you move. Everyone in the family loves to watch my stomach move and feel you kick. Today Dad wanted to feel you, but I told him because I was standing up I hadn't really felt you in a while. He tried finding you in my stomach and must've pushed a little too hard and woke you up. You definitely let him know you were there with a big kick.
Ari and Charlie are so excited to meet you! They both pray for you all of the time. Charlie likes to give you kisses and Ari regularly asks how you're doing and if I've felt you lately. We love coming up with different names for you. Ari's come up with Sparkles, Summer, Felicia, and Peach. Charlie likes Fig the Fox. I keep telling the kids you'll come at the end of the summer. It's crazy to think that we've just started summer, and in three short months you'll be here!
We love you, Baby!
Love,
Mom

Dear Baby,
I'm excited to finally announce that we know what you are! And...you are a GIRL!!!
I went to my ultrasound today, and although I haven't met with my doctor yet, the ultrasound tech said as far as he could tell everything looked great! It's always a nerve-racking time not knowing how everything will turn out, and it's such a relief to be able to briefly see you and know everything's going well.
I had to go to my ultrasound by myself today because of coronavirus. I was sad Dad wasn't able to be there with me, but it was so fun to have lots of pictures to show him and Arien and Charlie.
Everyone came to the hospital with me and just waited in the car so they wouldn't have to wait any longer to find out what you were. Before I told them I made everyone give their final guesses. Dad guessed you were a girl, Charlie guessed you were a boy (not surprised), and Ari (very surprisingly) guessed you were a boy, I think because she didn't want to be disappointed if you really were a boy. Ari was so excited and surprised when I told her she'd be getting a sister, sometimes she talks about a lot. I don't think the rest of us really truly cared if you were a boy or a girl, just that you were healthy. But I'm very excited to have another girl join our family!
I love you so much, Baby Girl, and I can't wait to meet you!
Love,
Mom
