July 28th

Dear Reese,
So much has happened over the last few days! Your Great Grandma, Grandma, and Grandpa got us a very special gift. They got us an SUV! They wanted to make sure we were all going to be safe up here in the mountains. It's 4 wheel drive and has a sunroof. Also, your stroller fits perfectly in the back. You're gonna love it baby :) I hope you always know just how much you are loved by your whole family. Everyone is so excited to meet the little baby growing in my tummy. The baby shower is a week from tomorrow and we have you all registered at Baby's R Us! We want you to have all the Lion King stuff. We also got you these awesome bottles that will help so you won't get Colic, that's what your mommy got you when I was a baby.

Sometimes I get so anxious to meet you that I want to just jump to your due date but there is still so much to do and I really love having you in my tummy. Your kicks make me so happy! I woke up from a bad dream and you were there to kick me and let me know that everything is going to be ok. I am so excited to set up your room. I want it to be perfect for you. Your great grandma bought some pretty neat stuff today at a garage sale. She got you a high hair, some clothes, a crib, and a bassinet so you can sleep right next to Mommy and Daddy when we first take you home.

It's crazy to think that we will leave our home one day and come back with a new addition to our family. I really hope Chico and Kitty do not get too jealous :P

I always find myself wondering what you look like. I hope you have Daddy's eyes, Grandma Liz's nose, my hair, and Grandpa's smile. You will be so beautiful no matter who you look like :)

Your Daddy loves you very much, I can tell by how he acted at Baby's R Us. He was so interested in everything and wanted to make sure you get everything you need. We agreed on what you should get and what wasn't really needed. That makes me happy knowing that you will have two parents who love each other and love you. We would do anything for you sweetie.

Your Daddy and I spend hours talking about you. We talk about how we want to raise you, what we hope you'll learn from us, and how amazing it will be having you in our lives. You have made us closer than ever. 🙊 You are our little monkey!

June 5 17 weeks day 7

Dear Baby,
    Oh my! Today has been a very eventful day! Your daddy and I got so much done. We went to get our first PO BOX, set up our electrical, did laundry, and then went on a hike with Chico. After the hike I came home and laid on my back and then BAM! Bubbles in my tummy. I felt you move for the first time!! I have been waiting a long time to feel your first movement. It was so exciting. Your daddy was sitting on the chair next to the couch I was on and I told him "Babe, I think I felt the baby move." He dropped his phone jumped right next to me and put his hand on my belly. We both had the biggest smiles on our faces. You are already the size of a sweet potato! 5.6 Inches and 6.7 oz! Oh my little baby, you are getting so big in mommy's tummy. You are like my little kangaroo! We love you so much!!! In two weeks we get to find out what you are! Almost everyone thinks you are a boy (especially Grandma) hehe. You are going to be such an active baby I already know it. I can't wait to get the 30 minute ultrasound. I have been waiting to see you for so long. Also, the doctor called today and said all the tests look normal. I'm sure you'll be far from normal though :) One of my friends had their baby yesterday and my other friend should have hers by the weekend! I'm so jealous they get to meet their little ones already! I am already doing so much research so I can assure that everything will be perfect for you. Your Grandma Debby bought me the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and it has been very helpful.
   My only wish is that you will know the difference between there, their, and they're! I'm sure you'll be as smart as your parents ;)
   Today I was looking at your daddy and I was just so happy that I am having a baby with him. He is the best dad in the world already. He does everything for us and is soooo excited to meet you. You are a very lucky baby :D


Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and Doggy.

<3

P.S. Your Daddy says the first thing you will learn is how to kill zombies :)

March 30 17 weeks pregnant!

Dear Baby,
     My little Booger! It has been so long since I have written to you. Your daddy and I have been going through a very big change! We found you an amazing apartment to spend your first year in!! (Your Daddy says, "You are welcome you little Brat!" Haha, he cracks me up) Your Daddy is working so hard for us!! It's so beautiful baby and it is all for you! It's in Avon, Colorado overlooking Beaver Creek. You will be doing a lot of snowboarding on that mountain. :) Your Daddy and I already know you will be a professional or at least have as much fun as we do on the mountain! We are so very blessed. Your grandpa, grandma, and great grandma came down and they brought us all the things we need! Towels, dishes, bathroom decorations, and even a kitchen table! Your other grandma will be here tomorrow morning with the couches. Your daddy and I took your family to the Vail Village and we ate at Pazzos (an amazing pizza place you will probably have some birthday parties at hehe) 



                                                  Your Grandma, Aunt, Mommy, and You! 


    This house already feels like a home! Your brother, Chico loves it here and I know you will too. You even have your own room! (Your Daddy is borrowing it for his business for now but I will kick him out before you get it!) I can't wait to show you this amazing place we live in. The mountains are covered in thick green trees, the air is fresh, and the sound of hummingbirds is relaxing. We will be buying a hummingbird feeder so you can see them little one <3 We went to the doctors a couple of days ago and we heard your heart beat :) It was 160 bpm. Everyone thinks you will be a boy (besides your aunt Rhonda). 

      I am now 17 weeks. At this point you are the size of an onion, you're flipping in my tummy (I haven't felt you yet!!), your heart pumps 100 pints of blood a day, and you can make fists and put them in your mouth! Just a few more weeks and we get to find out your gender (your Daddy is so stoked!) and do a loooong ultrasound! I am so excited! Maybe they will do a 3D scan too :) 

                           That's you a day before 15 weeks! You are making Mommy big already :P 

            
        I got your daddy a key chain for Father's Day (early haha) it says "#1 Dad" He already is Booger. I know he loves you soooo much! He got me flowers and a card for Mother's Day. He might not be the most romantic type but he tells me I am beautiful everyday and buys me flowers a lot :) He is going to spoil you rotten little baby :D 

We love you so much Booger, Only 160 days till we get to see your beautiful face! 

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and Doggy.

May 1st

May 1, 2014   12 Weeks Day 7 


Dear Baby,
  I think about you all the time.  Sometimes I will find myself daydreaming, wondering what color your hair will be, if you'll get your Daddy's eyes, and what your first word will be. I have never felt such a deep connection with anything before, I love you so much baby. I can't get over how much of a miracle baby you are. You were given to me by God and I'm so happy. Tomorrow I will be 13 weeks! One more week and I will be in my second trimester. We went to the hospital you will be born at and got to see your daddy's friend (Rudy's) son. He was sleeping the whole time in my arms. It made me so anxious to meet you!! I am looking forward to feeling you move around and your Daddy wants to feel you kick already! We are still working on getting you a home, we just want the perfect one for our little angel. Lately you have been wanting tea really bad! I have bought 5 over the last couple days. You are a funny baby already. :D 

You are the size of a peach now. You are getting so big! You have reflexes and fingerprints now! It's amazing that you are in my tummy growing! Wow. :) I love you! 

We love you Baby,
Mommy, Daddy, and Doggy

Ultrasound! :D

April 22     11 Weeks Day 5

Dear Baby, 
  Today was an amazing day for your dad and I! We got to see you on an ultrasound! We were so incredibly happy. Last time we saw you you were just a ball of cells. I couldn't even tell you were a baby. Now, you have a head, arms, and legs and you are already so beautiful. You were partying it up in there, throwing your arms around and jumping up and down. Your dad was shocked. His mouth dropped to the ground when he saw you moving. We didn't know you would be so active already. It's so amazing to think that you are moving around in my belly and I can't even feel you yet. I'm so anxious to feel the "flutter" everyone keeps talking about and for you to start kicking me :) You are so perfect already baby. Now it's real, now you are a baby! A little human inside of me. I can't even wrap my head around it.. I get to find out your gender soon(ish). All these milestones are so exciting! Your daddy was amazed when we got to hear your heartbeat for the first time. Your little heart moves so fast.. 166 BPM! You are so hyper already (great! haha) We already know you are going to be the best baby in the whole world. 


I never knew I could love someone so much, and I haven't even met you yet! You can yawn now and suck your thumb. Everyone is so excited to meet you! only 199 days left! Almost to the second trimester baby! We got this ;) 

We love you baby,
Mommy, Daddy, and Chico!

April 10 week 9 day 7

10 weeks tomorrow! Oh my has it been flying by but going slow at the same time. You're gonna be here before daddy and mommy can even bat an eye! 


This is what you look like! You look more like a baby now and less like padpole! 

Mommy is getting her teeth all nice and healthy so that when I smile at you you aren't terrified hash just kidding, your parents are gorgeous :) 


I hope you have your daddy's health. He never has to go to the doctors or dentist! He is as healthy as a person can be I think! No glasses, no braces, perfect :) You can just have my face! His hair and smile :D 

We are gonna watch the voice now and eat pizza (I know you have been wanting it for awhile)!

We love you Baby Medina.

April 3

April 3 8 weeks day7

9 weeks tomorrow! You will be the size of a green olive :) It feels like I have been pregnant forever! I just want to feel you kick already. Mommy got a lot of homework done today! I am about to do my taxes for the first time soon and that will hopefully get us some money for our future home! We are working hard for you! I am saving all my money and only buying the bare essentials. I almost have my credit card paid off and I am working 38 hours a week. We would do anything for you <3 

Chico is excited to meet you. He has been so lovey lately. He will probably be very jealous but he'll love you all the same. 

I want to show already! It would make this seem more real... I will see you again on the 22nd and I'll be  11 weeks and 4 days. 



Smile baby, you're loved.

Your Daddy and I snowboarding :) I can't wait to get you on the mountain! The most beautiful place on Earth! Vail, Colorado. Your future home <3 

March 27



March 27, 2014        7 weeks day 7

Tomorrow will be 8 weeks and you will be the size of a raspberry! :D

Yesterday was your uncle's birthday! He is 16! I am going to his birthday party on saturday. This will be the first time your grandma, uncles, great aunt, and great uncle get to see me since I have been preggos! 

Sorry I haven't written to you in awhile baby. I have been so extremely busy with school. I have a lab report and origin of life paper due. Also, I have to study a bunch before next week because I have my second exam. I have a B in the class but I want an A so bad. Something your Grandpa taught me was to always try my hardest in everything I do! That's why I did sports and got good grades. I didn't have to be in swimming, diving, or volleyball but I did it and made varsity. It made me happy and made my dad proud. I hope you set your dreams high baby. You can do ANYTHING you want with a lot of hard work and determination. You are already so strong and I bet I will say that when you start kicking!  I know everything isn't always going to be perfect between us (especially when you become a teenager) but I hope you know that no matter what, I love you..

I was going through some baby room ideas and I found a lot of good ones! I was thinking lion king or ocean?? Your daddy is such a great artist, I am sure he can paint an amazing room for you! Maybe he can draw and I'll paint? :) It's so exciting. I cannot wait till we get a house for you.


                              
   




















I have been exploring pinterest.com trying to find you the perfect room ideas! It will be original though :) I wish I could ask you what kind of room you want!

I listened to this song today and thought of you. 

Baby, i hope you dance! 

Well, I have to get back to writing out this lab report. I'm getting so excited to see you baby :)

March 20!

March 20, 2014      6 weeks day 7

Dear Baby,

Wow, 7 weeks tomorrow! You are growing so fast :) 

You make me really tired little booger. I never knew how hard it is to grow another human inside me. I always disliked being a girl growing up (it's tough haha) but it's all worth it now. I am so bonded to you already! 

:D

Your daddy said the cutest thing today. I pulled out the ultrasound and he said "hey, why didn't I get a copy?" Aww. How sweet! He's been showing your picture around work.

I'm worried about you, I hope everything is ok. The doctor said we aren't completely out of the woods yet :/ That makes me nervous but I am trying not to stress, I heard that is bad for you baby.  I don't want to wait 4 weeks to see you again! Hopefully I'll get to hear your heartbeat this time. I only got to see it pulsing last time (which was really awesome! Daddy agrees!) I like reading what I write everyday to your Dad. He gets more excited everyday. I talked to Grandma today and she was telling me how amazing this journey will be. I know it will be because I can share it with you! Everyone still thinks you are a boy haha. We'll see if they are right. I started looking at baby room ideas today and have a few in mind. I hope you like Lion King because your parents definitely do! We even got the Hakuna Matata symbol on our wrists. It means "No Worries!!" You''ll grow up on that movie, I promise :D 

This weekend I am taking you snowboarding. I hope you have fun :P I already know you are going to love growing up in the mountains. I can't wait till you get to see it. It's so beautiful here. The schools here are amazing too, not to mention the people. They are so very nice! Get ready for a ton of compliments around town. Every week they do story time at the library where you will probably meets lots of friends!  If I can stay with the daycare I work with now, you'll get to come with me to work everyday! Won't that be special? :) I will keep writing everyday to keep you updated baby booger. 

Mommy is going to make Daddy some food and then we are going to bed. I did a lot of school work today and we need our rest for  10 hour shifts tomorrow! Gotta save up money for your future home! We're working so hard for you baby. <3 


We love you.
Smile Booger. 
-Mommy, Daddy, and Doggy. 




Chico (your big brother) and Mommy. He's excited to meet you too!

March 19, 2014           6 Weeks Day 6 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l9GE_eaMSs


Here's a video of you right now baby! 

Craving: Cheeeeeeeesecake! 

Appetite: A little

Morning Sickness: A little this morning but it passed after I ate some tomato soup and took promethazine.

Today was an okay day! I took a nap during my lunch at work which is a first because I usually can't fall asleep anywhere but my bed. You make me so tired booger! I felt a little sick and didn't want to eat but ate plenty of fruits just for you! I am going to go snowboarding this weekend, with doctors approval, which means there is no doubt that you will be an olympic snowboarder if that's what you want to do  :) You are snowboarding before you are even born! Time to go to bed! I need lots of beauty rest for work and school tomorrow. I will have dreams about you :D 

Love, 
Mommy

Dear Baby

Dear Baby,                                                                                            March 19, 2014   6 Weeks Day 6
   
   I can't believe it has only been two weeks since I found out about you!  I am already so anxious to meet you. Your grandma Shello is pregnant with your aunt or uncle and only a few weeks ahead of me! When I told grandma and grandpa about you I put a blanket and binky in a bag and told them it was for the baby. Of course they thought it was for their baby so they said thank you and seemed happy. Then at the bottom of the bag there was a note that said;
                                            
                                                  Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
                        Please keep this at your house in case I need it when I come to visit.
                                    I can't wait to meet you! See you in November! 
                                                              Love, Baby  

  They are so very excited to meet you little booger :) I can't believe I have to wait 8 more months to meet you! Your daddy and I went to the doctor yesterday and we got to see you on the ultrasound. 
The doctor said that your home is a little weirdly shaped and there is blood above you... I hope you are okay! Also, you are too small :( My next appointment is in 4 weeks! I'm excited to see you again baby. If you are a girl we decided to name you Reese Delany Medina. If you are a boy we like the name Asher Waitforit Medina... But we are still deciding HaHa. Your great grandma knew about you before I did :) She thinks you are a boy. We will love you now matter what. Pig tails or Overalls. We are looking for a home for us when you finally come! I hope you love it! We'll make your room as amazing as we can. Smile Baby Booger! 

We love you Baby! 
-Mommy and Daddy
