21 weeks.

Dear little lady,

Your dad and I were shocked to find out that you are indeed a little baby girl!  And even more shocked when we decided to give you a different name than the one we’ve planned all along.  We’ve decided to name you Penelope Joy Lemster.  Joy is a pretty special name.  My mom gave me the name Joyce as my middle name after her mom, and so I’m handing the name down to you.  Its fun to already have something special to hand down to you.  We’ve been loving calling you by name, even this morning when your dad went to work he gave me the usual kiss on the forehead and i love you and then turned and said “i love you too penny”.  My sleepy heart just melted.  Everyone is SO excited about you and you even got your first present from my boss this morning.  Its a cuddly little bunny rabbit with rosy red cheeks.  You are going to LOVE it.

Our doctor said that you are growing just fine, your even 3 days ahead of schedule and everything is growing perfectly.  We’re so proud of you!

This weekend I plan on getting some things up in your nursery.  Now that I know who you are I’ve got some great ideas for your little space : ).

You are so amazing Penny, we are so incredibly thankful for you and we feel so lucky that we get to be your parents.

We love you little lady.

XOXO,

M
