A letter to my unborn child (2nd trimester letter)

Three months have passed since I last wrote you.  Within those months, changes have occurred.  Each day I still seem to find myself in disbelief that I am seven months pregnant.  You have been such a great baby in mommy’s stomach.  I have heard other people’s stories, and my story is that I bypassed the sickness.  Thank You.  Since you are bigger, I feel every movement.  Even with all the movement, you have not yet hurt mommy.

When I first felt you move, I was midway into my 20th week.  Before this week, people would question if I felt you move yet.  At the very start of my pregnancy, I longed-for the day I would feel you move.  I had finally felt you move late at night while I slept.  While I was asleep, I was awakened to you moving in my tummy.  It was 1:30 a.m. and the movements lasted about 30 minutes.  It was not painful, but different.  I was in shock at what was happening, and did not want to move.  Once the movements settled, I smiled, and thanked God for this awesome blessing.  The reason I had been anxious to feel you move, was because that was the one way I could know you were all right, for I could not see you.  As the weeks went on, you grew more and more, and I could feel you move more as well.  When I first felt you move, you felt like air bubbles inside.  Now the movements feel like movements.  When you poke me, kick me, or just move, I feel just that.  There are certain days you are extremely active.  The days you are, I love to look down at my stomach and watch you move.  It is crazy that I am not actually watching you move, but in a way I am, for I can see my tummy lifting up and down.

I get more eager to meet you as time progresses.  Your father and I finally have named you.  We made it official this past week after our first 3-d ultra sound where it revealed how right I was months ago!  As of now, you look just like your father!  We decided to name you Kaelin Giovanni.  Kaelin means powerful warrior, and Giovanni means God is gracious.  With a name like that you can never go wrong in life, for God gives us favor.  When you forget that you can do all things through Christ, just remember what your name means.  Warriors do not give up, they are strong, and God is gracious.

You are moving right now, as I write you this letter! Awwwww I love you son! December needs to hurry! 

Love You Forever & Always, Your Mommy
