Hello my tiny little princess.
We are 3 days away from your 4 month "monthday". We are also 3 months into your daddy's deployment. Right now, I'm sitting here watching you squirm and smile in my mother's arms. I have so much fun watching you learn and explore and try new things. Today on the bed, you rolled over for the first time with a little help from me. It was so funny to see your eyes light up with excitement and then a flash of fear. You're doing so well Molly Jane. It's so hard for me to believe that you've been in this world with us for close to 4 whole months. You are such a blessing and you are more special to us than you will ever really know. I know that everyday that your daddy gets to see you on Skype his eyes light up because he loves you so much. I wish that he were here with us to experience all of the new and exciting things that you are doing! I'm torn between wanting you to grow up quickly so that we can talk and laugh together, and wanting time to stand still so that I can soak up every single second that I have with you while you're so tiny. I'm so proud of you and everything that you've accomplished so far. I can't wait to see each new day and what it will bring with it for us to experience together. I love you very much sweetheart.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Molly
Hi baby girl. I just wanted to tell you all about your first month here on planet Earth... First, your arrival into this world was an amazing experience for me and Daddy. We were both so ready for you to be here, and you didn't make us wait very long. After seven hours of Mommy laboring and nine minutes of pushing, you let out your first scream. It was beautiful. You were a sticky, gooey mess and you were completely beautiful. I wish that you could remember the look on your Daddy's face when he first saw you. It was amazing. I knew right then that you already had him wrapped around your tiny little finger. You weighed 7lbs 4oz and were 19 1/4 inches long.
At the hospital, you were breastfeeding like a champ! All of the nurses were so amazed at how well you were doing... and that made me and Daddy so proud. You had to have formula for a few days at home because my milk hadn't come all the way in yet and your little belly wasn't getting full, and I felt so bad for that. I was glad that Daddy got to feed you some though. It was nice for him to get to experience that. But after my milk did come in, you were right back to breastfeeding and eating like a champ!
You had lots of visitors coming to see you in your first month here. My mom, and Nan and Daddy's mom and dad, and my Daddy and Elsie all came to see you! Everyone was so in love with you from the very first minute they saw you! Daddy had to leave when you were almost a month old to go work in Afghanistan. It broke both of our hearts. I didn't want him to leave and miss out on your first year, and he didn't want to leave either. It was very hard.
I weighed and measured you on your 1 month "monthday" and you weighed 8lbs 14oz and were 20 1/4 inches long! You grew so much in just a month! You are so beautiful Molly Jane. Mommy and Daddy love you more than anything else in the whole wide world.
Love,
Mommy

Hello Baby Girl...
Dear Molly,
You have been one impatient little girl. You gave Daddy and I a pretty good scare a week ago. We thought you were going to make an early entrance. The doctors had to give Mommy FOUR different shots! Two of them were to stop the labor, and two of them were to help your tiny little lungs develop quicker so that you'll be able to use them if you do decide to come early!
Daddy and I have everything ready and set up in your room. You have so many neat toys that I'm sure you will love and so many cute clothes that I'm sure you will hate. :) I promise not to make you wear anything that is TOO uncomfortable.
You're getting so big now, and so strong. Daddy and I can see you moving in my belly. It's so fun to watch. Sometimes we even have poking fights where you'll kick really hard and I'll poke you back, and you'll kick back! It's fun, and makes me feel like you're here playing with me already! I love when we have our poke fights.
Well, you will be here in a little over a month, and Daddy and I can't wait. I caught Daddy looking in your nursery a few weeks ago, just staring. It was so sweet knowing that he was imagining what it will be like when your little coos fill that room... We already love you so much Molly...
Love,
Mommy

Letter number two...
Hi my sweet angel,
I've started feeling you move so often now! You're like a little karate kid in there! You're 22 and a half weeks old now! Daddy got to feel you move finally, which was so moving. Everytime he looks me in the eyes and smiles, I know that he's happy to have both of us in his life. Sometimes he even stands behind me and puts his hands on my belly to try to feel you kick. It's so special. You really have brought so much more love into our lives than we thought we could ever experience. We were so excited when we found out that you are a little girl! Daddy even kissed me on the forehead and said, "Thank you for giving me a daughter..." It was the sweetest thing in the world, and it made me feel so good. We bought lots of pretty little girl clothes for you and we have your nursery almost finished! We can't wait for you to get here Molly.
I love you so much already...

Your First Letter From Mommy
Dear Baby,
This letter will be the first of many that I'll write to you. I'll keep them up, even after you're born. I've dreamt of having you for so long, and now you're finally growing inside of my belly. We share so much right now... I feel you kicking and pushing on me from the inside and while I knew that those things would happen, I never dreamt of how much each little touch would touch my heart. Daddy and I have bought a doppler, so I get to listen to you as much as I want. I love hearing your little heart pound away. It makes me feel like you're already here with us. The first time I saw your heart flickering on the ultrasound screen, I cried like a baby. That was the first time I felt like I was a Mommy. You'll never know how much joy you've already - in just 16 short weeks - brought into my life. I can't wait to see you on November 22nd. We have the ultrasound to find out if you're a little Molly Jane/Maggie May or Jack Clayton/William Thomas. You'll have Dama there to see, and Daddy and maybe even Honey and Nan! We're all very excited to find out, so I hope you aren't too shy!
I love you baby.
Love,
Mommy
