A Fairy Note

Dear Bells,

We love you so much already and are so anxious to meet you. I wait to hear your first cry, which will melt my heart. Knowing you are here and healthy, will be such a comforting melody. Our first baby girl. You peek into my dreams a floating little fairy leaving me with thoughts of your darling face. I long to dress you up in bows and carry you around, all ours to show off to the world. Greeting you is the foremost thought in our minds as the day gets closer, and as you grow inside of me.

Daddy can’t wait to hold you in his arms and feel your soft new skin. He imagines what color your beautiful eyes will be and he is eager to look into them for the very first time. We can’t wait for you to meet your brother Connor. He presses kisses on Mommy’s belly and gives me hugs just for you. He thinks it is funny that Mommy has a special belly, but he is careful and so sweet about it.

We have an outfit already for you to come home in. We wonder how you will fit into it; will it swamp your tiny body? Or will you be bursting at the newborn seams? I remember with Connor it was a time of nervous anticipation, but with you we are prepared and content. Our emotions are centered, centered on our Bella Marie Stanger. As anxious as we are we look at the calendar and can’t believe that your arrival is so near. We are just weeks away now and things are moving quickly. We often imagine wrapping you in warm blankets to shelter you from the cold and having your sweet presence in our home. I can see Connor staring in awe of you and your miraculous little shape, tickling your tiny toes and being Mommy's biggest helper. I know that we will be watching you sleep and in hushed tones talking of your beauty for months to come.

Oh how we long to welcome you into our family, to watch you learn and grow. What a treasure it will be to have you here, sharing in our love. We adore you already, our little fairy Bells. 

Love,

Mommy, Daddy and Connor
