My Little Girl Baby

Dear Sophia, 
Mommy is a little late getting this entry out, but here it is. Oddly enough, you have shocked quite a few people in revealing that you are not a little boy, but are in fact a little girl baby! I didn't think there would be any surprises waiting for me while I carried you around in my tummy, but sure enough your gender proved to be the biggest surprise I could ever get.


You've been keeping Mommy awake at night this last week. Your little movements can only be described as above average sized pieces of popcorn popping in my tummy and make sleeping hard. Silly girl, you haven't even been born yet and your already making Mommy crazy<3


Your Daddy and I have finally started to get along better recently. Its been a nice change from all the fighting and arguing we've been doing for the past few months and has definitely helped take away a substantial amount of Mommy's stress. 


Thoughts of decorating your nursery and preparing for your arrival keep my mind plenty occupied these days. I feel there is so much I have to do, but very little time in which to to do it. 


No matter how frazzled I get or how crummy things have been, you are still number one on my mind at the beginning and end to my every day. May can't come fast enough little Sophia<3

16 weeks 4 days

Dear Baby Kamp, 
Its been awhile since Mommy has written anything new for you. Life has been chaotic, but there isn't a day that goes by when my thoughts aren't filled up with you. 


Last week Mommy went to the Doctor again. Goodness, but for such a little one you have Mommy filling out sooo much paperwork. They measured Mommy's tummy, asked lots of questions and at the end let Mommy listen to your heartbeat again. It was such a relief to hear a normal heartbeat, the last 2 were slow..Gramma and Aunt Lib also got to be there for a listen. 


Mommy is so very excited! We have an ultrasound scheduled for the 16th of December to finally find out your gender. After that, there is so much to plan! I can't wait to be able to paint your room, and decorate so everything is ready when you get here. Picking out a name will be so much easier, and shopping for clothes will make Mommy happy.

11 weeks

Dear Baby Kamp,
yesterday Mommy got to hear your heartbeat for the first time. It was an unbelievable experience that had me near tears and helped me feel even more close to you, my little unknown. The experience was a little too brief for my liking, but despite the short duration of time I had, I will never forget the sound of your little heart beating from within my tummy.

Daddy was unable to share in the experience with me, but he was right there in the waiting room lobby, waiting for his chance. The exam was too short and the Doctor in too much of a hurry to take the time for him to hear your little heartbeat but if he had been there I am very sure he would have felt the same amount of awe that I did. I doubt he would have teared up like Mommy did, but then again between you and I, he is just a little bit of a softie ;)

We will be going back in 4 weeks, you and I. Mommy will get to see your first picture and maybe even learn if you'll be a little man or a little lady. I am so excited and cannot wait. Maybe Daddy will even tag along again.

Dear Baby Kamp.

Dear Baby Kamp, 
you've been growing in Mommy's tummy for 9 weeks now and your progress thus far seems to me like you've already inherited both Mommy and Daddy's stubborn traits--Oh my little one, although we are only 9 weeks into this long journey together, Mommy is dreading the idea that you might turn out to be just like her! 


Mommy was terrified when the ER Doctor told me there was a chance I could lose you..I knew from the moment I found out you were growing in my tummy that I had never wanted anything so much in my entire life. 


Not even a hamburger incorporated into my vegan diet. 




That first night after our trip to the ER, Mommy talked to you for hours at bedtime and eventually we worked out a deal, you and I. We agreed that you would hold on tight, and if Mommy tried her best to be good and healthy, you would be as stubborn as Mommy and Daddy both and stay right where you were until it was time to come out. 


4 weeks have come and gone since we had our first late night talk together. Since then many have come and gone, all with the renewed deal between us--in just this one case, I am so very glad you are starting to show your stubborn side this early on in the game. 


Mommy loves you very, very much and can't wait until you get here!
