Dear Baby Girl

I haven't written any letters to you before, so this will be the first, and probably not the last. 

I may not have done this at all, but today is one month before what is supposed to be your birthday. You must be growing pretty big. Mommy doesn't feel huge, but still gets a surprise sometimes when she walks by the mirror. Mommy has also started feeling really tired a lot of the time. I heard this would probably happen near the end, but I didn't think it would be this bad. 

I think you finally have a name, as of a few days ago, but not very many people know about it yet - just your two grandmothers and your uncle Scott. And maybe Daddy told some of his friends. It's not something I originally pictured naming you, but it seems to fit. Or at least it's something Mommy and Daddy could agree on. 

I decided today when my last day of work would be, and I hope you don't decide to make your appearance before then. While I can't wait to meet you, I'm hoping you'll give me at least a week of vacation, then if you want to come a week early, I'd be okay with that. 

Time has just been flying by since January 12, when I first found out about you. We know you are going to be a huge change to our lives, but we can't wait. We love you so much already, Baby C. 

See you in a few weeks.
