20 Weeks, 5 Days

Dear Baby Batts,

OH BABY!! What a scary, delightful, magical appointment we had with you today! You were a stubborn little thing, way content to be nestled into a cavity near my hip bone and too shy to come out and show your little face until the very end. Your heart, your brain, your legs, your arms, your skull... everything looked great.

You even waved at us, which is something your daddy specifically mentioned to me wanting to see! So that was pretty amazing.
Little baby wave!
The ultrasound tech noticed something on my placenta that we'll have to watch for the next couple weeks, but as long as it doesn't impede your growth and development, that's okay.

Right away, we started calling people, telling them your gender and squealing with delight over how good the Lord is. He is so good.

Your daddy and I picked out your name. As soon as your face appeared on the ultrasound screen, the same name popped into both of our heads and we both knew - that's baby's name. Calling you anything else just doesn't seem right or fair because we KNOW your name now.

Tonight, I'm baking some sugar cookies (with a certain color frosting) to take to work. I love sharing this special time celebrating YOU!

Love,
Mama
