Dear Jonathan,
ok so for some reason ive got the bloggers bug!! so i figure why not write to you? im not great at keeping up with things so.. ill do my best. maybe one day when you get older you will read this.. maybe not. but i thought it might be nice for me to tell you about us to start out with....
Like all babies you have a mommy and daddy but we will get to us later. YOU my child have a special family. You have 2 biological siblings james ( hes your brother) he's 8 and really excited your a boy. You also have valerie ( she's your big sis) she doesnt really know whats going on yet because she is 2 but she knows somehow there is a baby in mommys tummy and that your gonna come out. She is one of the few you will kick for. Then you have Steph, shes your aunt but more like a big sister. shes fixing to turn 16 on Tuesday Feb 2, 2010! shes pretty excited and thinks you are pretty cool!
So now that you know who they are let me tell you a little about them ok!
James: we call him jamie around here.Jamie is 8 right now but will turn 9 right before you are born if you come on your due date!! he is a goof ball and cant wait to teach you all sorts of cool stuff ( he is already trying to teach sissy how to count by 2's) He loves cars and dinosaurs and video games. He is seriously one of the silliest little boys i know!jamie is super smart but doesnt know it yet.. but he will one day!!Oh and hes nosey!! he loves to be in any conversation he can get into. hes a little hyper but he means well! Jamie has quite the attitude on him when he wants to but i think he gets that from me becuase your sister has the same attitude but in girl form! LOL!! ok onto your sister!
Valerie: wow shes going to make a great big sister!!She loves babies and thinks they are the cutest things ever!! She is a girl all the way! she loves dancing and dressing up and music and makeup. Sissy was born early and beyond where any dr said she would be right now. She is so smart for being 2 she amazes mommy sometimes!!Mommy cant do anything without sissy right there with me. she is 100% a mommys girl!I think she always will be! Valerie is 2 right now but will turn 3 right after you are born!! Oh and sissy is so silly and so sweet!! but yet so prissy and has an attitude to boot!!!
Stephanie: She is just as much a part of our family as she would be had i given birth to her too!!! how she came to be a part of our family is a long story ill tell you one day. but not right now! Steph turns 16 on Feb 2nd 2010 so she will be 16 when your born!Steph is an amazing girl!! and i promise you will love her just like you will james and valerie. Steph is super smart. she LOVES music and sings all the time. ( no matter how anoying it is).
Now about mommy and daddy. mommy and daddy met on june 17 2007 ( yes 3 years to the day that your due to arrive) pretty cool huh? i think so at least!! mommy thought daddy was just the sweetest man she had ever met!! i was fixing to have your sister when we met. Your sister was born on july 7,2007 a little less than a month since your daddy and i had met. but he fell in love with her just like i did! just like we will do with you! Daddy has been a awesome daddy to both james and valerie and i know he will do great with you! Mommy and Daddy got married on Dec 20,2008! someday when you get bigger ill show you pictures from our wedding!!! Your daddy looked so handsome! A little less than a year after we got married we found out you were on your way!! oh we were so excited!! When the Dr did your first ultrasound so we could see your tiny beating heart we all crowded into the room to see that special site!!!
On january 25, 2010 Mommy and daddy and sissy found out you are a boy!!!! You turned over tucked your little legs and showed us all just what you are!!! We are so excited!!!!
Each day you move more and more in mommys tummy! today and yesterday you have been extremely active yesterday it felt likeyou had the baby hiccups. Mommy laid on the couch to see if Jamie and Sissy could feel you but you owuld only move for sissy!! Steph got to feel you for a second later in the day!!!
About noon on last friday it started snowing really bad here ( more snow than we have had in a long time) so we are all stuck in the house! More than likely jamie and Steph wont have school tomorrow becuase the roads are still pretty bad to drive on. Everything outside is still white for the most part. Its really beautiful!!! the kids all went to play in the snow yesterday and to much to their suprise the snow was all covered with ice so our yard was a skating rink!! So they slipped and slid all over the place!! Just think in a few years you will be out there with them!! I cant wait!!!!

Love,
Mommy!
