Dear Baby Girl,
I saw the cutest thing today - it was an ultrasound of you. You were chewing on your fingers and sucking on your thumb. I can't believe how adorable you are already. You are about 2.5 pounds now and so beautiful, I can already tell. I loved watching you on the ultrasound. I am so excited to meet you soon.
Love,
Mom

29 weeks
Dear Baby Girl,
Happy 29 weeks! I get so excited as the number of weeks gets higher and I know you are growing bigger and getting closer to coming into the world. I am looking forward to meeting you. Lately I have been thinking that I might name you Magdalena, Maggie for short. My first choice for a girl name was always Abigail, but it is so popular now and wnile I still love the name I don't want to subject you to a life of being one of many Abbys in every school class and group you are in. Maggie was another name I always really liked. I thought Maggie would be short for Margaret, but then I married your daddy and we want to use a Czech name, so we thought of Magdalina, which I think is pretty, and reminds me of Mary Magdaline in the scriptures. I think I would like your middle name to be Joy, after my mom, who is the nicest person in the world, and your aunt Joydell, who is also so great and unfortunately very sick right now with cancer. I am afraid you will never know her and I would like her name to be a part of you somehow. I have also thought about giving you my grandma's name, Florence. She was such a great lady whose no-nonesense ways I appreciate more and more every day. And I have thought of using my own name, but that seems selfish after giving the reasoning for the other two options. Things could change before you are born, or when I meet you, but for today you are Maggie Joy/Florence to me. And I love you baby girl. I love when I feel you move inside of me. Each time you move I tell you thank you because it reassures me that you are okay. Sometimes I just can't imagine my good luck that I get to be your mommy. I so much look forward to the moment that I will be able to look into your eyes and see your pretty face and hold you in my arms. And at 29 weeks I know that moment is 12 weeks or less away. I'm looking forward to it.
Love,
Mom
