Dear Janie Beth,
I will never forget the day we found out that we were expecting our first child! It was Sunday, November 9, 2014, and I had just dropped off supper to a couple in our Sunday School class who just had their second baby. I decided to swing into Walgreen's to buy a pregnancy test (well, actually 3)! I took the test when I got home. Your daddy and I were shocked and speechless as we saw two pink lines appear!
The first trimester was the happiest but most scariest time for me. We did a lot of praying and trusting in the Lord that he was keeping you safe, strong and healthy. We also told your family during this time that you were on the way. Everyone was thrilled and just as excited as we were.
February 9, 2015 we had our family come to our house to find out what you were! My guess was boy and your daddy guessed girl! Once everyone had arrived we opened the box and pink balloons floated out. I was totally shocked and so overwhelmingly excited! I could not believe we were going to have a daughter! After all the excitement calmed down I revealed your name, Janie Elizabeth Weldon. You are named after your great great grandmother Janie Graham. (She would be so excited)!
Over the last few months we have been showered with love, gifts and prayers from family and friends. We all can't wait to meet you! Your daddy and I have been working very hard on your nursery (which is by far my favorite room in the house)! We have also attended a few classes to help us prepare for your arrival!
I didn't realize that I could love your daddy anymore than I already do, but through this whole process my love for him has grown. He loves you very much already and will do anything to help me! He talks to you, reads to you and loves to feel you kick and squirm inside me. I pray that you marry a man just like him! I can't wait to see him hold you for the first time!
You have consumed our thoughts and prayers! We talk about how our life is going to be different once you arrive and all the fun things we can't wait to do with you. We think about who you will look like and what your personality will be. Even though we have a few more weeks until you make your arrival I am going to cherish the squirms and kicks and the final endings of being pregnant. I promise I will try to be the best mommy I can be and I promise to love you with all of my heart!
Love,
Mommy
So sweet!
