Dear Baby,


Dear Baby,

I just wanted to tell you, that even though you are still so small, I love you.

If you could have only seen the look on your father’s face when I told him I was carrying you, then you would know just how much you are loved. I have never seen him as happy as when I tell him I’m pregnant. When he speaks of you, a small light glows about him. It reminds me of the day we were married.

Your brothers talk to you all the time. They whisper funny jokes to you that make no sense and then laugh hysterically. They tell you what their favorite dinosaurs are and hope that you will like to play dinos too. They always make sure to be soft with mommy now so as not to hurt you. I don’t know if I’d expect as much when you get out… but you’ll learn to like roughhousing.

Until then, rest peacefully. Safe and warm, knowing that love and happiness surround you.

All my love,

Mom

Congrats!! Josh told me last night that he got a text saying that Amie was pregnant and we have another set of friends named Matt and Amie (oddly enough) and he had to look through his phone to see which one it was... but congrats!! We're very excited for you!

Congratulations! How exciting! Hopefully we can get together sometime in 2010 to see the baby when he/she comes :) Actually, 2010 is probably unlikely... maybe 2011...

I told some friends today that I know I definitely want a girl....I just don't think I'm quite ready for her yet. Maybe on baby number 4? haha, We'll see. I'm sure I won't care at all as soon as they put the baby in my arms.

Hey, Aim, I felt teh same way about switching gender gears with James just cuz girls were all I knew, but I still wanted to experience raising a boy. And know what? It IS different, right from the start, but just like the first time, you always know what to do cuz all that love does the job. HOWEVER--I understand the twinge of anxiety about raising a daughter. I cried on and off for months because I had no idea how to raise a happy, healthy daughter...but oh, man, I love those girls so much. I can't wait to see you and Matt with a daughter, but we'll take abother cute nephew ANYDAY!

PS: This was such a sweet post...keep writing to baby!

I am so thrilled for the Post family! All my kids can't wait! Jack and Ben think it's so cool that Jake and Sam get to have a baby at their house. Ally and Belle can't wait to see and hold baby!

Aimless,
We are so happy for you....You and Matt are such good parents, this new little person is blessed to be born into your family. Abby still reminds me that if anything happens to us she gets to live with you guys. Love you!

Congrats Amie! Our little Zach's birthday is Nov 12. And a funny thing about November is that we have decided to try one more time in Nov for a girl. That will give us a 4th of July baby. :) If no girl after 3, we will probably be adopting.

CONGRATS!!!!!
