Dear Baby 3

Hi Baby, We visited the doctor again today. We saw Dr. Harrison, who will help deliver you when you are reading next year! We talked about how Mommy is feeling (AWFUL, by the way) and how your big brothers are doing. While we were there, we listened to your heartbeat again! Dr. Harrison said your heart is on the high end of the spectrum, which means you are 60% likely to be a girl. When I told Daddy this evening, he he just laughed and said: "Well, 10% closer to a girl, whoo hoo!" But it was still fun to hear your sweet little heart. Henry and Johnny stood at the edge of the bed watching the Dr. Harrison put the little machine on my tummy and move it around, looking for you. It's so exciting to know you are there. Love, Mommy Mommy's Weight: 141 lbs Your heartbeat: 157 beats per minute 12 Weeks and 4 Days

Dear Baby, I realized as I sat down to work tonight, that I spent almost the whole day without feeling like I was going to die! SUCCESS! I hope that means the end of all this misery and sickness--it does mean that we're in trimester 2! I can't wait to meet you, baby. Henry asks me about you often, Johnny refuses to acknowledge you, but we'll get there. Love, Mommy 12 weeks 1 Day

Dear Baby, We saw you today!! Me and your brothers! We were so excited. I went to the Dr. to talk about insurance and all the financial side of having a baby. All that is boring, but we got our official due date: February 25. One day before Henry's due date! Though he was born 2 weeks early. While we were there, I asked if we could listen to your heartbeat. The nurse was happy to oblige, and went and got the little sonogram to find your heartbeat. Well, you did not want to hold still. We could hear you moving around and, occasionally, caught the sound of your little heart. But I think the nurse wanted to make sure your heart was doing ok, and so she went and got the little ultrasound machine. As soon as she placed it on my tummy, we could see you! And you lifted your hand up and waved at your brothers. It was AWESOME. I noticed right away that you have the same little nose as your brothers, and a sweet little profile. I was so happy to see you there inside of me, even though
