My Little Bean

 To my little bean, Oh how I love you. I am constantly worried about you. So big things have happened. we know your gender, we know your due date, heck we even know your name. Your daddy and I are over the moon happy. Well I am, your daddy really wanted to be a boy.. But like all the other women in your family, mommy got exactly what she wanted.  My little girl. This past Monday, I officially hit the half way point. 20 weeks!! Let me just tell you, the anxiety of it, it really hit me. We haven’t planned at all for you. I mean your Gigi bought your crib, she will be getting a few of the big things but that’s all we have so far and that is scary!!  And your name?? Addison Michelle Hammond, Addie for short. Little Addie.  This may sound crazy, but it eases my mind knowing I have you. You help me stress less, because if I stress, then its bad for you. You have changed so much for me in the best possible ways. I'll love you forever  I'll like you for always  As ...

Just Like That

 My little bean... At 15 weeks, your daddy and I finally got to see you. Of course your Gigi (my mom, unsure why she picked that for a name) was on FaceTime getting to experience the special moment with us as well.  Before the appointment, I can’t even describe how nervous I was. So much anxiety, thinking about everything that could be wrong. I even told your Gigi, what if you weren’t even in there? I was so on edge waiting to see you.  But then the nurse took out that magic wand and there you were. The amazement, the joy, but the biggest piece was the relief. There you were. An actual baby growing in my belly. You were just one big ball of energy and it was amazing to see. The best part was you constantly giving your butt to the nurse, making it such a pain to actually see you and make sure you were growing as you should.  So far, you are right on schedule and healthy as can be. The nurse was even confident enough to say you may be a little girl. Which of course is ...

New Beginnings

 My precious Bean, I know it has been awhile since my last message. In all honesty, not a whole lot has changed. You are still giving me a run for my money on the game of “To puke or to not Puke”. So far you are winning,  which I guess should count for something.  From what I have looked up, you have some fingers and toes. As well as your brain being formed and you have some teeth. Which slightly creeps me out. They say you wont come out with teeth, BUT it is possible. So please do not come out with teeth. I beg you.  Your daddy and I are very excited to see you this upcoming Thursday. It’s our first visit to an OBGYN so I hope I picked the right person to go to. According to google, I can get blood testing done to see if you are a little boy or girl. I’m hoping for a girl. your daddy wants a boy. I will probably be right on this one.  Your daddy is driving me insane though. There are times when all I want is piece and quite. Your daddy has no idea what that eve...

Finding You

Dear My Little Bean,  I found out about you today. Every ounce of me was excited to hear the nurse say “It’s positive”.. I wish I could find the right words to describe the emotions I felt when the nurse said that.  I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. Being 27, I am an adult. Part of me still feels like that high schooler who has no idea what they want to do with their life. The excitement I have for you, out weighs any negative or doubtful thoughts I may have about you little bean.  Your grandma is very excited for you. She was the one to give you the nickname little bean. I’m not sure if it’s because you look like a little bean, or if because that was my nickname growing up. Funny enough, when I graduated high school, my aunt gave me a Little Bean necklace that I haven’t taken off since. I use to think of her every time I touched it. Now I think of you.  You are definitely kicking my butt with morning sickness though. Usually right when I wake up. Your gran...
