Letter from Mommy (18 Weeks)


Oh my dear sweet child,

You are very special to this world and to Heavenly Father. Since daddy and I learned about you, we have felt that your spirit is precious- like an angel's. 

Everyone tells us that you are special. "Wow, she is going to be beautiful!" they will say. Even before you are born, you have people amazed by your beauty. They tell us you will grow to be gorgeous, stunning, and every other kind flattering compliment they can give.

The world already sees grace and beauty in you- as do we all- but I want to mention something about you that they cannot see or feel just yet.

I know this to be true my love, Your spirit is one of greatness and nobility. You are truly sent from God to help prepare the way for Jesus Christ's second coming to this Earth. You are determined and you are strong. 

I know you will face many trials in your life, but you are a remarkable woman who has been given the strength of many nations. 

I feel a lot of your daddy in you which is a great blessing. Your father is an amazing and humble man whom I have come to cherish above all that is living. Blessed with his wisdom and testimony, you will grow as a firm example of a believer in Jesus Christ to your classmates, strangers, acquaintances, and friends. 

Most of all, you will be a beautiful leader in our own sweet family. Darling, lean on us for support as you need it, but don't be afraid to fly on your own. Daddy and I while on Earth or in Heaven will always be here to guide you. 

Try not to fear the trials of life. See every trial as a sweet blessing. Our trials will help our weaknesses turn into strengths. 

Work hard everyday to strengthen your knowledge of Jesus Christ and expand your education. Just as we must work hard to strengthen our physical bodies by going to the gym and eating a healthy balanced diet, our minds and spirits too must be constantly nourished if we want to keep them strong.

I love you daughter, you are a blessing to our family.

It's a.....(16 Weeks)

Oh my gosh!

We are so excited! So we just got home from an amazing 16 week check up of our little one and we now have some amazing news!

It's a girl!



Jett smiled the BIGGEST smile I have ever seen on him when the doctor announced her sex:) He has always wanted to have little girls and he got what he wanted.

The doctor's appointment was so suspenseful and dramatic too! We went to Utah Valley Hospital for our ultrasound and had an amazing ultrasound technician who allowed us to see the baby for at least 20 to thirty minutes as she took measurements of baby's size and weight.

Our little girl already is showing so much personality (if but only in the minds of her parents) by the way she acted during the ultrasound. The ultrasound tech tried to determine her sex very early in the check-up but our little girl would not have it. She sat perfectly content with her little legs crossed and would not let us see her gender!

Over the entire course of the ultrasound she stubbornly sat, mocking us, and refused to budge any part of her body except her little hands and head. 

I had to lay on my side and then switch to the other side, get poked, go back to my other side, get poked in the belly again, and finally the tech decided that we would come back to it later. 





Isn't that the CUTEST little hand you ever saw in your whole life?!?



After every measurement the tech could think of was taken, we decided to give it another shot. She still was pretty stubborn but the tech says she is fairly certain that we are having a girl.

Hooray!

P.S. We have chosen her name already

His Voice

June 5th, 2012

I am addicted.

There is something terribly romantic about his voice that just has me twirled around his finger. I love to listen to every tone and fluctuation he makes when he speaks. 

It reminds me of velvety smooth and rich....chocolate. Haha. So soft and calm, full of peace and strength, with a Sri Lankan twist. Mmmm.

Sometimes I become so enthralled by the sound of what he says that I just nod my head in agreement with whatever sense he is trying to make. It is my weakness I admit, but I can't help myself.


"Yes dear, whatever you say dear......"

"Wait, who said you could......?!?!?"
