For the past couple years, I have written letters to my darling, adorable, perfect daughter Reagan. It is something that I love to do and something that I hope she will cherish one day. Being a mother to a daughter was something that I always dreamt of and it has thus far exceeded my every desire. Last April, we found out that we were expecting another little nugget. Bennett William Bassham is scheduled to arrive on December 18, 2014. I can’t wait to meet this little guy, and I think it is about time that I wrote him a letter.
Dear Bennett,
Hi! I am your mom, and I cannot wait to meet you. I am 35 weeks pregnant, and you, sweet boy, are scheduled to arrive on December 18, 2014. Right now, you spend your days kicking, poking, and generally moving. You are an incredibly active baby. At each of your ultrasounds, they always tell us that they have never seen a baby move so much! At 33 weeks, you measured 5 pounds, 3 ounces and supposedly have a full head of hair. We got to see you in 3D – and, let me be the first to tell you, you are very handsome.
We can’t wait to welcome you to our family. I love you with all my heart. I pray for you daily and dream about you all the time. Your dad he loves you too. He can’t wait to have a son and get so excited he talks about you. He is busily preparing the house and his many “to do” lists in anticipation of your arrival. And, your big sister Reagan – let me tell you something about her – she is going to be the most wonderful big sister in the world. I can’t wait to see how she loves you and how you love her back.
Sweet boy – you are so cherished. I am enjoying these last few weeks of pregnancy – knowing that never again will I know what it feels like have your heartbeat inside of me.
I love you with all my heart. Forever and always. No matter what.
Mom
