Dear Baby Batts #2,
A girl!!! You’re a GIRL!! Our sweet Clara Mae. We saw your
face and your daddy and I both knew. Clara means “light” – we pray that you
bring the Lord’s light into the world, that you shine brightly for Him every
day of your life.
Right after our appointment yesterday, we celebrated with
ice cream at Cold Stone then went to Fred Meyer. Ruth picked out a “Cutest
Little Sister” outfit for you (well, we helped!) and Daddy and I picked out
some shorts, a onesie, and a shirt for our little summer baby. We got some pink
sugar cookies, too – one pack to take to church that night and one for me to
take to work.
We have been telling everyone about you, showing off your
photos. Those photos were hard to get, Clara! You were nestled down so deeply
in my pelvis, pushing up against my back, that I thought we would NEVER be able
to tell your gender or see your face! I had to lay on my sides, use the
restroom, wiggle around, anything to get you to move.
At work this morning, I showed the ladies in my office your
photo and as I was telling them about it, I accidently mentioned “her arm.”
They all SQUEALED so loudly and everyone was so excited. “A sister for Ruthie!
That’s going to be so much fun!” And they’re right. I hope and pray you and
Ruth have a great relationship growing up, that you love playing together, and
become one another’s best friends.
Oh baby girl. We love you. Little Clara Mae.
Love,
Mama
