Dear Precious Fetus -
You are a lucky child. I am sure you have been reading the letters your great-grandparents have written you and are getting excited to be held, snuggled, kissed, and spoiled. Did you see the last word?? Spoiled. I hope that you are feeling spoiled now sitting comfortably in my uterus, shielded from loud noises, bright lights, and hard surfaces. I am sorry though about all the Chili-Lime sunflower seeds I have been feeding you though. They are quite addictive, ask your grandmother about those later.
I do think we should thank your Great Grandmother Mimi for her most recent round
of spoiling. Her love and dedication to you have resulted in a plethora of comfort objects including your very first Mimi quilt and beautiful receiving blankets. You will someday understand the furor these quilts cause within your Holiday family. You got one before you were even born.I continue to be amazed at the emotions you have caused us all to have. And also the nausea that just won't quite go away. Be sure to save some kisses for Mimi and Grandpa. Also Granny and Pawpaw, Grandpa Sam and Connie, Pops and Grandmother to be Named, Uncle Paul and Aunt Maggie, Uncle Ol'Dirty (that could Matt or Ben)... well how long this list is might scare you. Just be prepared. I can't wait to see you again on May 9th! Be sure and smile for the ultrasound.
Love your Mother
