Dear Sweet Kate,
I can tell you are getting so much bigger now. Your movements are getting really strong, and my belly is getting huge. I can't believe we are going to be meeting you in ten weeksish or less...wow!! And I still can't believe you are a girl. We are going to have so much fun together. I can't wait for all of the pink and playing kitchen and princesses :).
I had lots of plans for the last two months of this pregnancy. I was planning on moving your brother to another room and making a very pink and girly nursery for you. I was planning on getting all fixed up and taking some much needed belly shots (I really hope to still do this but we will have to see). But everything changed about a week ago when your daddy lost his job out of nowhere. This has been one of the hardest (if not the hardest) weeks of our lives. We've had to make some very difficult decisions including putting our house on the market. And so I sit at 30 weeks pregnant with you, and I have no idea where I'm bringing you home to?! My emotions have been all over the place and so have your daddy's, but we know that God is faithful (you and Henry are testaments to that!) and that gives us a lot of comfort. When I'm having a "moment," you sometimes will give me a nice kick, which turns my tears into smiles. Shaun and I have talked so much about how grateful we are that we have you and Henry. We couldn't imagine going through this without y'all to make us smile and to help us remember what really is important. Kate, you are such a blessing already in our lives. We love you so much!! It really doesn't matter if you have a fancy going home outfit or a pink nursery...you aren't really going to care are you? Well then I'm not going to either. Can't wait to hold you tight and to take care of you and to give you a million kisses.
Love you,
Mommy
