Letters to Hope

Your mom is going a little NUTS.

I am now almost 6 months along and up until a couple of weeks ago this has been a breeze. Now, all of a sudden, I am always in pain. My legs and back are cramping up I have this like throw up feeling all the time in my throat.

Terribly Lonely and Near Insane

Sometimes I feel as if I am going insane, and this whole time I am lonely so terribly lonely. Your father is never home and I miss him, the house is still a wreck and it is driving me crazy. I get nervous and anxious about your coming and about life in general. I am tired a lot but most of the time just moody. I hope this passes.

Boy or Girl? Still Unsure

I love you so much and can not wait to meet you; I still wish all the time I knew what you are. (A boy or girl but I guess for now that will be up to fate.)

Baby Shower Coming Soon

I am getting nervous about your room and about the baby shower. Not that this is a big deal when it comes to you being here, but I want everything to be as close to perfect as possible and so far things are not going so smoothly.

The room is not even close to getting started much less done. I did buy your crib which I am excited about. I still need to register for all the other stuff I need.

Kids Are An Expensive Proposition

Kids sure are expensive but you are well worth it.

I hope to be able to always provide you with everything that you may need and a lot of things that you may want. I want to teach you to value what you have, and often time people think that spoiling a child does not teach those values.

I do not believe this I believe that you can earn what you want and that will teach you values and that I can spoil you as much as I want with love and respect.

Five Books, Five Parenting Philosophies

I am reading about 5 different books at the moment all about parenting and pregnancy and raising children. So far there are so many different directions I could go.
