Dear Isaac,
Yesterday was a relaxing day for both Daddy and I. We had the chance to spend some time together, and some time with you. I loved being able to just plop on the couch watching a movie with Daddy while we got to feel you move all over the place. You were really, really active and we both love that!
I played you some music yesterday morning, too. Like last time, as soon as you heard it you started to move all over the place. It seems like you really like it. I sure hope you do.
In the package I told you about from Laura were two Christmas ornaments. They are for Daddy and I to take to the hospital when you are born so that we can put some blue paint on your little hand and foot and then have your hand and footprint painted onto the ornament. I thought it was such a great idea, so I went to Michael's and bought more ornaments. I want other people to have that same sweet memory of your birthday, too.
On Tuesday Daddy and I will go to the doctor's and will get a chance to "see" you again. I can't wait. I love watching you move on the screen, and I love it when they turn on the 4-D pictures where we can really see your face. Maybe you'll have some hair on your head this time!
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
I received a package yesterday from a sweet lady named Laura. In the package were all sorts of things for Mommy and Daddy to have at the hospital to make memories with you. There's clay to take an imprint of your hand and feet, a journal for Mommy and Daddy to write about our times with you, and even Christmas ornaments on which we can capture your hand and footprints. I am so thankful to have these things.
Last night at small group we prayed for you. We prayed about Mommy and Daddy's time getting to see you at our doctor's appointment on Tuesday, and we continued to pray for a miracle... that God would heal your sweet little body. Oh, how much Mommy and Daddy want Him to.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Since I had read that all of your senses are developed, I decided to try playing you some music last night. While I was at the computer working on some things, I put on some of my favorite songs and held the little computer speaker to my tummy. You had been somewhat quiet in the afternoon, but as soon as I started playing you the music, you started to move and wiggle like crazy! I made sure to put the speaker on a place on my tummy that I knew wasn't right over your head because I didn't want to hurt your sweet little ears. You must have still been able to hear the songs because of all that movement. I hope you liked them. It was a special thing for Mommy to be able to share with you some of my favorite songs that we sing in church. I sang along with some of the songs, too, so that you could still hear my voice as well. I hope to play you some more music tonight.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Last night Mommy had a hard and sad night. I am so excited to get to meet you in a few weeks, but I know that also means that in a few weeks Daddy and I will most likely have to say goodbye to you. I am not ready to do that yet... I don't think I would ever be ready to.
I just layed in bed crying, feeling all of your sweet kicks and wiggles, thinking about how I have asked God so many times for a miracle... for Him to heal you on this side of heaven, for Him to make your little body okay. That's something that Daddy and I, along with many other people, keep asking Him for.
I don't know what His answer will be. But I want you to know how proud Daddy and I are of you, how much we love you, how we are so thankful for you, and how much you have changed our lives and the lives of so many people for the better. You are so important to us, and you have and will continue to play such an important role here on Earth.
I love you so much, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Yesterday Mommy and Daddy got to hear your heartbeat at the doctor's office. It was beating strong at 153 beats per minute. While the nurse was trying to find your heartbeat you kept kicking the little machine they use. You did that last time, too. It had us both laughing. Your strong heartbeat tells me that you're still growing, and it makes me so glad to know that you are doing okay in there.
I continue to hear stories of people who have been touched by your life. I am so proud of you, Isaac. We are so thankful to be your Mommy and Daddy.
Last night Daddy talked to you for a while. I think you heard him. You had been moving around a lot, and when Daddy started talking to you, you got really still. I guess that maybe his voice was soothing to you. I hope so.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Mommy and Daddy are looking forward to getting to hear your heartbeat at the doctor's office today. It is one of the most sweetest sounds ever to us.
I was reading more about your development yesterday and the article said that at this point all five of your senses are developed. That is so neat! I have heard that sometimes babies react when their mommies put a flashlight to their tummy. I sort of what to try it, but I don't want to hurt your sweet little eyes. I love knowing, though, that you can hear Daddy and I when we talk to you. We talk to you all the time, and Daddy loves saying goodnight to you. I sure hope you know that it’s him and how much we both love you.
I hope you're doing okay in there. When I go to sleep I try very hard to position myself so that I am not squishing you. It's hard because you're getting so big! Hopefully the pillows I am using help. I just want you to feel comfortable and safe.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Isaac,
Mommy and Daddy came home yesterday from Annapolis. We had a wonderful time there, both being together and getting to go to Nick's wedding. Yesterday afternoon we relaxed for a bit, ran some errands, and then watched a movie together.
You must have stayed awake all night last night. Your kicks have become much stronger and more frequent in the evening; even Daddy noticed that again. I had to get up a couple of times during the night to use the bathroom, and every time you were wiggling around like crazy! I really enjoyed that.
Tomorrow Daddy and I will go to the doctor's and get to hear your heartbeat. I am really looking forward to it.
I love you, Isaac.
Love,
Mommy
