Dear Belle,
We have decided on a first name for you, and it is one I dreamed about in college long before it became so popular. You will be named Isabelle, and we will call you Belle. Your daddy is very picky, so you are lucky you have a name at all. We are still deciding on the middle name, and we are hoping we can find a family name with a special meaning that we like. You have grown and amazed us so much this past week. I am 23 weeks along today and people are starting to notice my baby bump. Daddy felt you move for the first time last Wednesday, and he said it felt like a tapping outside of my belly. I can feel you all the time now, and it amazes me every time. Sometimes you even stick out an elbow or knee and it is hard lump that you can feel easily! We went to the genetics OB and cardiologist on Friday. Your mommy got very upset and started crying because we had to wait for an hour past our appointment time, and we found out your doctor wasn't going to be there at the last minute. All I have to say is don't mess with a pregnant lady and her hormones! Our moms came with us and got to see you for the first time. They loved it and we are blessed to have their support. You weigh exactly one pound, and your heartrate was 149 when sleeping and 154 when awake. All is well with you, no signs of Down's Syndrome, no cleft palate, and no aortic stenosis. Praise the Lord for a healthy baby! You even fell asleep halfway through the appointment and I had to shake my belly and start jumping up and down to get good pictures of your heart! Daddy and me were so relieved, and even purchased our first few baby items this weekend: a swing, a crib mattress, and a brand new digital camera to take photos of you! We love you more and more each day, stay strong and healthy for us Baby Belle.
Love,
Mommy
