My Sweet Babe

I hope you are settling in :) 7 more months and you will enter this crazy Sadler life! I used the doppler to listen to that little heartbeat yesterday and it sounded like heaven. You quickly wiggled away so I stopped bugging you...but you better get used to that doppler! It is so addicting :) I just want to make sure you are okay in there and I am a bit of a worrier. I am getting better though (I think).

Anyway, I love you. I thank God you chose me to be your mom. I thank God that he gave us another baby to love and raise. It is incredible - I love you SO much already and I haven't even met you. But as I share my body with you, I want you to know I will always be your earth and sky; I will always protect you.


Love,

Mommy

My love.

My love, it was so wonderful to see you again. You look so comfy in there - snuggled up and growing bigger :) Your heartbeat was 163 bpm this time...I wonder what that means?

Owen saw you for the first time today. He reached over and touched you on the monitor. I hope you two become best friends. It is okay if you fight or compete, but at the end of the day I want to hear, "Night Owen, Sweet Dreams, Love you". Like your my brothers and I did. One time I was mad at your Uncle Brett so I replied, "Bad Night, Hope you have Nightmares". And that's ok, it will happen, but you will never mean it.

love, mom

2 hours!

Two more hours and I will get to see you!!!

It has been marked on our calendar for 5 weeks - "Appleseed's Debut 2:30"

Can't wait!

love, mom

Sweet Relief

Oh my babe,

You are ok! You are MORE than ok - you are beautiful!!!! Your big heart was beating 180 bpm and you kicked and wiggled for us :) I, of course, began crying. GOOD tears, sweet-relief-oh-my-gosh-all-is-well-i-really-am-blessed-with-another-baby tears.

I love you. I love love love love LOVE you.

Keep kickin' my sweets.

ps here are some pics from about a month ago :)

10 weeks

You went on your very first trip this past weekend - Chicago :) Daddy, Owen, and I tried lots of different foods but nothing sounds good to me -- don't you want to try new things? Ice cream, fruit, and cereal are the only things that sound appealing MOST of the time. Other days I stick to crackers and juice. I haven't felt sick in weeks - its just that food is just...gross. I am starting to show a tiny bit but right now its mostly bloat. I would really like to make it to the end of the school year (7 days) without anyone suspecting your presence :) I want to show up in August with a beautiful round baby bump!!!!!!

Speaking of seeing you - I will be seeing you in a few hours. I wasn't suppose to see you until Friday but I had some spotting yesterday and they said I could come in and make sure you are ok.

Please be okay. Please be healthy. Please jump around and wiggle and show me your beautiful beating heart. I want to hold you so badly. I want to love you and kiss you and make you a part of our family. You are just so little... You have so much growing to do.... Please show me your little arms and legs and model your perfection - and say LOOK MOM AND DAD - I'M GROWING IN HERE!!! I LOVE YOU! RELAX!

Really, please be ok.

love, MOM
