You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!
Psalm 139:13-18

31 weeks: 8/13/2009

Little Mollie Gail,

Well, you will be here for us to hold in only two months. It seems so long from now, and right around the cornor all at the same time. Daddy and I have never been more excited about anything in our lives! We had some people over a couple of weeks ago, and your Daddy kept talking to my belly (you) and telling everyone about his "sweet little baby, Mollie." It's so amazing to see him already so in love with you.


The doctor saw an "echogenic focus of the left ventricle" on one of the ultrasound pictures. He isn't too worried about it, but wanted me to have a special ultrasound so that he could take a good look at your heart. At first this worried me. I love you so much and want you to be a healthy little girl. But then a calm came over me; I realized that God isn't going to give us more than we can handle. No matter what your health is like, Mommy and Daddy will love you and take care of you just the same. Nothing could ever lessen or take away my love for you. You aren't even here yet, and I love you more than words can describe. No matter your trials and tribulations, you are everything to me and always will be. I will do everything in my power to make sure you have the best life you can have!
So, we had a 4D ultrasound, and it turns out that you have my EXACT profile. It's amazing! You look so perfect and beautiful, and I just love you more than anything in this entire world. Sometimes I imagine you as a tiny little baby laying down with us and us touching your little belly and feet. Oh, gosh! I just can't wait! Your daddy keeps telling me that once you are born, he is never going to put you down. Oh! And, whenever he gets real close to my belly (which he does every day) and talks to you, you always start moving. It's amazing how you already know your daddy's voice!


Earlier this week we had your room painted. Now... I have never been a big fan of pink and purple (except for when I was a little girl), but I had your room painted those colors because I really feel like you are going to love it. Maybe I know what you want because you are a part of me (growing inside of me and all). I really wanted to do neutral colors, but something just kept telling me that you wanted girly colors... so I did what I thought you would like. I hope you like it!
In a few days we get to have another 4D ultrasound. By now you look just how you really will look when you are born, except when you are born you will be a little bigger. I'm excited to see your face again... and your little belly, feet, hands....
I am also really trying to get the house all cleaned and in order so that I can bring you home to a perfect house. I am so glad that we moved into this beautiful house before you are born. Our old house was in terrible shape and could never really be completely clean. At our house now, there is so much more space, it it just feels so much greater! I'm excited to bring you home to our new house.


Ah! I love you so much love bug. You are, and always will be, so perfect in my eyes. You are wonderful!

I love you,
Mommy
