Today I am sixteen weeks pregnant with you and what a joy ride it has been. Mommy and Daddy prayed for you for so long and waited ever so patiently for God to form you and knit you in mommy's womb. Mommy was so excited when she found out she was pregnant. Mommy couldn't wait to tell Daddy and Daddy cried when Mommy told him. Mommy had to take three tests to believe she was pregnant and Daddy had to see the test to fully believe it. What a special miracle you are to us. We were told by the doctor that would need help in having a child of our own, but mommy knew God wanted us to be patient and God was in the process of creating you. Daddy touches mommy's belly every night and prays for you. Daddy prays for you to be healthy and for God to raise you up to be His child. We pray that you will love God with all your being and be a reflection of who He is.
Mommy felt you kick for the first time last night. Mommy got so excited and tried to get you to kick again. You are as big as an iPhone (or an avocado) which is about 4.5 inches long (excluding your legs). You can hear Mommy and Daddy's voice now. Ellie loves to lay her head on Mommy's belly at night. We think she knows you're in there. We can't wait for Ellie to meet you as she will love you and protect you just as Mommy and Daddy does.
