Week 21

Dear Madison,

We are more then half way through! Mommy's belly is growing super fast now and everyone can't believe my little bump! Thanks partly to the iron pills I have had to take, I have a lot more energy lately which is great to get things done for you and our family! Our week started off by going to a Jets game (a first for mommy and you!). We also watched Jeter play his last home game on TV!! Lately I have been getting leg cramps during the night which means you must want me to drink more water!! 

Everyone got our shower invitation and is excited to come and celebrate you!! People started buying us presents! I had to go and register for a few more things because Aunt Jamie said our presents are being bought fast! Mommy had 2 days off of work this week and it was a great opportunity to organize your nursery somewhat! 

This week we got an extra special gift. Aunt Rosie and Uncle Eddie fixed up the crib that mommy, Aunt Jamie and many of your cousins slept in when they were first born. You will also sleep in this crib when you are born! Mommy can't wait to put you to sleep in the same crib that Grandma Patty put me in. Right now it's in your nursery but will be put next to our bed when you are born! We love you lots!

Love always,

Mommy & Daddy

Week 20

Dear Madison,

Such an exciting week! It was very busy!! The most exciting part of the week though was seeing you at our 20 week appointment! We got to see all of you and learn all about every inch of you! It was so exciting to see you move and see your face! You are beautiful! They confirmed what we already knew, that you were a girl, and showed us your arms, legs, brain, heart, lungs, and even measured you! You are 13 oz! Almost a full pound. We went to a Yankee game (your first) to see Jeter play for the last time in person. Of course Daddy ordered you some Yankee onesies (he is already spoiling you). These are some pics of you from our amazing appointment:

 We are so happy that we are half way through!!! We can't wait to hold you!

We love you!

Love always,

Mommy & Daddy

Week 19

Dear Madison,

Back to school has made life not so exciting! There was a time that teaching and school was my life and now that you are in my life I have so many other things I rather be doing! Little by little we are getting your nursery ideas put together. We ordered your furniture and mommy bought baskets for your closet. At work, everyone loves seeing my belly grow! My backaches are more often but they are just a reminder of how thankful I am to have you! 
 

We are starting to plan your shower to celebrate you and get many presents for you! We can't wait to feel you and wait everyday to feel those little kicks! We thought maybe we would feel you this week but you may still be too tiny! 21 more weeks until you are in our arms and we can't wait for that moment! 

We love you!

Love always,

Mommy & Daddy

Dear Madison,

We have been very busy lately! We are back to school and back to the daily routine. Therefore, mommy has been very tired lately! Between the heat and the long hours, its been a rough back to school start! We went to see Dr. Yeum this week and she said everything looked good! She said you were right by my belly button!! Everyday my belly gets a little bit bigger and I love to see you (and me) grow! Everyone is SO excited you are a girl and LOVES your name. You have gotten many girly presents and even daddy went shopping for you! We cant wait to see you again in 2 weeks! We love you!!

Love always,
Mommy and Daddy

Dear Baby,

 YOU'RE A GIRL!! Everyone was so happy and so excited to know you are going to be a little princess! Of course we have already started spoiling you by buying you toys and outfits. Mommy picked you out some of her favorites and daddy even enjoyed shopping for  his little girl! We ordered your crib and dresser from Grandma! We also went and booked the place we are going to have your baby shower with grandpa! Mommy was busy this week with registering for many things for you! We can't wait to meet you! We shared your name with all our friends and family. 

We love you Madison Marie!!

We love you Madison!
