Dear Isaac,
I have been reading about how at this stage in your development, you're starting to be able to respond to sounds that you hear. I think that's really neat, and you seem to be showing that. Last night Mommy went to see the movie Mama Mia with some friends. There is a lot of singing and music in the movie, and every time a song came on you started wiggling and kicking a lot. When it was just talking, you were a lot more still.
It has been so fun to begin to notice your patterns of when you are active, and when you are more still. Lately, it has been neat to feel you start to respond to noises. I love being able to get to know you like that. I can't wait to finally meet you and hold you and kiss your sweet little face.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Yesterday was a pretty relaxing day for Mommy and Daddy. We went to church, rested for a while in the afternoon, and then had the Barrs over for dinner. While Daddy and I were resting, we could both feel you move around and wiggle a LOT. I know I've told you that I love getting to lay there and just feel you move, but yesterday Daddy got to do that, too. He loved it, just like I do.
Today begins the last week of summer school, and then Daddy and I will get to go to the beach with Pop-Pop, Grandma Mia, Aunt Kate, Uncle Tim, and Uncle Brendan. I'm excited to be able to "take" you in the ocean and carve out your precious name in the sand.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
We saw Pop-Pop and Grandma Mia yesterday for a little while. We spent quite a bit of time looking at the pictures of you, talking about each of your features and who each one looked like. It's so neat that even though you only weigh a little bit more than one pound, we can see your features so clearly and can already see ways that you look like Mommy and ways you look like Daddy.
In the evening, Daddy and I went to go rent a movie. As we were driving, we saw the biggest rainbow in the sky. Usually, you can only see part of one, because there are buildings or trees in th way blocking your view of th whole thing. Yesterday, the area where we saw it was wide open, and the rainbow was so high up in the sky that we could see the whole thing. It was beautiful. I wish you could have actually seen it yourself, because each of the colors was so bright and so beautiful. Mommy has been sad a lot lately, and the rainbow reminded me of God's faithfulness, just like how God gave a rainbow as a sign to Noah after the flood to remind him that He is faithful.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Daddy and I loved having the chance to see you yesterday. The nice ultrasound lady got some wonderful pictures of you with the special 4-D ultrasound machine. Instead of being black and white and looking like an x-ray as regular ultrasound pictures do, these pictures look almost like a little sculpture of your body. We could see your ear, nose, one of your eyes, your mouth, shoulder, part of your arm... it was so neat. You looked so cozy in there.
I think you have Daddy's nose, and both of our lips. You gave us a thumbs up again, and we could see that you have Daddy's thumb because the top of your thumb bends back a little, just like his. Mine sticks straight up.
We went to dinner and to a festival with Aunt Kate and Uncle Tim. Aunt Kate gave me a beautiful necklace. It is a pretty type of gold and has two small, thin circle pendants hanging from it... one with an "I" engraved on it, and one with a star. It's my Isaac necklace, and I love it.
I love you, Isaac.

Dear Isaac,
I had lunch with Mom-Mom yesterday. When we first go there, she was able to see my tummy move when you kicked. As we were leaving, she wanted to be able to feel you kick and wiggle, but I think you must have been asleep. We tried for a few minutes to get you to move around, but you just wouldn't. Hopefully next time she'll get the chance.
Today Daddy and I go for an ultrasound at the doctor's office. I am really looking forward to getting to see you. I hope that the ultrasound tech is able to get some great pictures of you like she did last time. Getting the chance to see you helps me to feel like I am getting to know you better. I am so proud of you, and I am so proud to be your Mommy.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Last night Daddy and I went shopping to find the perfect blanket for you. I wanted one that was blue, and that would be the softest, snuggliest, most comfortable blanket we could find so that you would always feel comfortable, safe, and warm. A few friends had told us about one at Pottery Barn Kids, a store where I had already found lots of neat things.
I had looked up the blanket on the internet, and it seemed perfect; but, I didn't want to just buy it without the having the chance to touch it and rub it against my cheek to make sure it would be just the right one.
It was. It was perfect. In fact, it's called "My Best Blankie." Daddy agreed that it was perfect. I actually bought two of them, which really confused the lady at the checkout. She asked Daddy and I if we were having twins, and we said no, there's one. She asked if one was a gift, and again, we told her no. She asked us your name, as well, although I am sure that what she was really wondering was why we were buying two of the same blanket.
The truth is that we bought two because Mommy wanted one of her own. I wanted to have one so that if God decides to only give you a few moments with us, I would be able to have the same thing you have, so that when I miss you, I will be able to take it out and hold it, and rub it on my face, and know that it's the same soft, snuggly blanket that's wrapped around you.
I love you so much, Isaac.

Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Yesterday afternoon I went for a little walk/jog around the neighborhood. I thought it had cooled down, but it was still a little hot! I can't figure out if you like the jog part too much... one of your legs kept jabbing me almost as if to tell me, "Mommy! Stop!!" Or, maybe you were excited and you liked it.
I prayed for you for a while yesterday, too. A girl named Lauren sent me a piece of a prayer cloth she used when she prayed for her baby, Norrah. I have never met Lauren, but she has been a good friend to me and she prays for you often. I layed the little piece of cloth on my tummy and asked God to make you better... to heal your little body and to allow Mommy and Daddy to have a long time with you. I don't know if His answer will be yes or no... I want it to be yes so badly. Like I told you before, though, even if Mommy and Daddy only have a moment with you, it will be worth it for us. And I know that if you're not with us, you'll be resting safely in the arms of Jesus... and really, there's no better place to be.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy
