A Note for Lily Kate

Good morning Lily Kate,

Mommy just wants to write you a note. You are kicking around in my belly and moving so much, it's hard to think of anything but you this morning. There is a story on tv this morning about the bond between mommies and their babies and it's giving me warm fuzzies to think that you and I are as close as can be right now. I'm doing my best to keep you safe and warm and to keep your big brother from smushing you. Since you are 6 months along, you should be able to hear my voice. That's really wild for Mommy to think about and I'm trying to say only nice things (but you are certainly challenging me with hormones and mood swings). I imagine a lot what you must look like and pray for the little lady you will be. Right now, I'm just praying that you will be confident, not affected by people's words and opinions but sure in yourself. I picture you in your clothes and have almost finished painting your room. I hope you like it when we're finished.

Thanks for keeping me company as I work this morning. I love you very much.
Love,
Mommy
