Dear Baby,

I had a doctor's appointment today. I hate to say it (especially because I am number 9. 9!) but by the third pregnancy things start to feel kind of routine. I remember the first OB appointment I went to with my first pregnancy I practically ran to the office I was so excited. I would spend the whole wait time reading baby magazines and thinking about the wonder growing inside me. Now I kind of have it down and I know what to expect. And while I still get excited every time to hear your heartbeat and hear that everything looks good the excitement and wonder is just not the same. I had a really busy day at work today. I thought all about work on my way to Dr Macy's office and my mind was turning some things over when I walked into the building. I walked up the stairs and when I opened the door to the clinic a smell hit me and with it the magic of an OB office returned. It was instant. And awesome. Something about the smell and the atmosphere made me feel like I was there for my first time again. The feeling stayed with me through the entire visit. I loved it. And really, how could something as incredible as growing a baby in your body, feeling the little kicks and movements, creating a human that you will love more than life itself ever become routine? Impossible!

I love you my little miracle! I love that I get to grow you inside of me. I love that you are a unique little human and while I don't know what your specific uniqueness is (or even if you are a boy or a girl) I know that I will love you and give my all to you and be your biggest fan.

Being a mom is an amazing privilege. Thanks for letting me be yours.

I love you!
Mom
