Dear
Baby Hurd,
According
to a few baby apps that like to use fruits as measurements to keep track of how
you are growing, you have grown from the size of an apple to a pomegranate.
Baby, you have grown a whole lot! You are now almost 1 pound and of course Mama
has put on close to 20 pounds in these past four months. To many people I am
not showing, however I know you are inside of me having the time of your life.

On
this Tuesday, your daddy and I found out your gender during my second and last
ultrasound. Your daddy was filled with so much excitement, while watching you
move around on the screen. I was crying tears of happiness as the ultrasound technician
explained to both your daddy and I what we were seeing on the screen.
Oh,
and you are a very active baby with a lot of personality too! Can you believe you
grabbed your little man hood and held it while we the ultrasound technician was
trying to measure you? Your daddy, of course knew that you are going to be a
lot like him just from that moment!

He also was saying that he knew you were a
boy for the past few months and the ultrasound was just confirmation! I was
laughing, but deep down in my heart I knew that God did not make any mistakes
when he blessed me with you.
We
still have not came up with any names for you just yet, even though I do have
one in mind. Your father wants you to be a JR. But, I have other plans for your
name. We are not bumping heads about it, because he wants to choose another
name for you too. So far, a few people that matter know you’re a healthy baby
boy and were just as excited for me and your daddy as we are. My mother (your
grandmother Lilly) thought you were going to be a girl, and now she has
insisted on buying more boy clothing to even out the spending she has already
done. Your father's parents Mama and Daddy Hurd are very excited to now start shopping since now they know they are buying for their grandson.

Last
night, after I prayed I sat in bed and read you three bed time stories. I felt
like you probably were not sleep yet and wanted to stay up and hear me talk. We
bonded, yet again last night. I had tears building up in my eyes, because I
still could not believe God has blessed me to carry you. Everything is still so
surreal. I pray that I can feel you move inside of me in these next few weeks.
I really want to experience more of you before you make it here.
These past few
months have truly flew by and I truly want to document as much as I can before
you make it here. I’m super eager to teach you about loving Jesus
whole-heartily. I can’t wait to experience motherhood. Until the next letter Mama
loves you always.
Love,
Mama
