Dear Baby Girl,
Last Updated on: 28th February 2020, 06:05 pm
The 18th of July, that’s where our journey begins. It was the day that I found out that you were in my tummy, baby girl.
️I immediately called up your daddy to tell him to come home and he did. When he walked into the house, I showed him the test and started crying my eyes out. After 2 years of hoping for this miracle, I couldn’t believe it was finally happening.
Your daddy was so happy when I told him and so proud. He had to go back to work but told me I could call up your auntie to be Nicoline. Again I was crying on the phone when I told her because I was so happy. We talked for a good hour on the phone, that calmed me down a bit. Auntie Nicoline has been on mummy’s side since we were in school. So she means the world to me. And to share this experience with her has to be the best feeling in the world.
Then Came The Moment To Tell Your Grandma, Christina
I called her up to come over for a second. And we ended up giving her a bib with the words ‘my grandma is the best’ on it. She couldn’t believe it either and we just cuddled. She was so happy for us as well. The next day I told daddy that I didn’t want to keep it a secret any further. So we decided to call grandma Vicky, I asked her to call us when she got home. But she figured out quickly that something was up and called me. She guessed it pretty quick that you were on the way and couldn’t be more excited.
That evening we went to grandpa Piet and grandma Monique. Grandpa went into the kitchen to get me a drink and I quickly hang a little shirt of yours over his chair. When he came back he just started crying happy tears. He was so excited for us and so happy that our wish had come true.
Then the week of the first ultrasound was there and mummy was so nervous. Daddy told me to calm down cause everything was going to be fine. It turned out that you were a little bit small but that was probably cause we had our weeks wrong but to make sure we were allowed to have another little peek at you 2 weeks later. At the 8 week scan, we saw that you had grown just as you had to and everything was fine, your little heartbeat was so strong on both of the ultrasounds that we just knew everything was going to be fine.
You Grew So Fast
By the time the 12-week ultrasound came around the corner mommy got all nervous again. I was feeling sick all the time so daddy told me to relax again because of all the symptoms I was still having. I was so happy to have him by my side as he was truly being my rock when I needed that of him. You were growing exactly as quick as you should be growing and we were told that you were a healthy baby so far. That scan also showed us a quick peek at your brain, it was so amazing that in just 12 weeks a little human has grown so much in my tummy. I saw your cute little button nose on the scan and just fell in love with you.
At 15 weeks both of you’re grandma’s and auntie M (Tilly) came over to see if you were a boy or a baby girl. mommy was sure since the beginning that you were a baby girl but no one believed her. Daddy didn’t want to find out till the next day so he could do a reveal so auntie Tilly decided that she wanted to be surprised as well. The next day Daddy picked up a golfball to hit, it had either pink or blue in it that would be shown as soon as the ball was hit. Daddy took a good swing at the ball and revealed to grandpa Piet and Grandma Monique that it was a little girl, you
All Of This Leads Me To Today
️Today you have been in my tummy for 20 weeks. And I couldn’t be more happy to feel you’re little kicks throughout the day. I feel so lucky for having the miracle that you are in my tummy, baby girl and cant wait to see your little face again later today. Because I’m having my 20-week scan. The fact that I can feel you kick every day has made me worry a bit less than normal. But I guess its just part of becoming a mommy to you. I can’t wait for the rest of our journey to happen and watch you grow up with us. You’re already making me and daddy the happiest people in the world and I couldn’t have wished for anything else.
We love you, my sweet little girl
️
