In honor of Labor Day - which has nothing to do with giving birth haha. I thought I would post a few letters that I wrote to Persephone pre-delivery. I loved that I started doing those letters from the moment I found out I was pregnant. One day when she's old enough, I hope they mean as much to her as they did to me....well still do!!

Dear Persephone,
Today
was your ultrasound, like at the 20-week ultrasound, you were sucking your
thumb and refused to move your arm so we could get a profile picture. The ultrasound technician said you weighed
5lbs and were in the 47th percentile – I guess that means you’re an
average baby, but you’ll always be extra special to us. She suspected you wouldn’t go over 7lbs (if
that) at birth. She also said all of
your measurements looked great and we’re still accurate with your due date of
October 6th. She also
re-confirmed you’re a girl ha ha.
Unfortunately my blood pressure was elevated today, I know it was just
from being anxious to see you, but the doctor asked me to come back on Monday
to monitor it. Only 6 weeks left!

Dear Persephone,
I went
in today to get my blood pressure checked; it was still a little high, but not
as bad as before. I told the doctor I’ll
check it on my own and let him know if it gets high again, otherwise I go back
next Tuesday to follow up.

Dear Persephone,
Today
was our baby shower for you. We had it
at the Flowery Branch Train Depot (in downtown historic Flowery Branch). Mom (your Mimi) and Tabitha put it together
for us. It was beautiful! We had a lot of guests stop by to show their
love for you, you ended up with so many gifts – especially clothes. I can’t wait to dress you up and see how
sweet you are in these adorable outfits.
It was a very long day, but well worth it.

Dear Persephone,
I had
another appointment today, your heart rate was 135bpm and my belly was
measuring 38cm. Not much longer and
we’ll be meeting you face to face! My
blood pressure was still higher than the doctor liked…but otherwise I’m feeling
great!
