To: River Fr: Your mom

Dear River,

I'm sitting here at home taking it easy and thinking about you and your future life with us. I know I'm going to get to meet you very soon and I can't help but feel a mix of emotions. I feel nervous, excited, scared, happy, but most of all I just feel love. I love you to the moon and back. I'm going to try my hardest to be the best mom to you. I want nothing but the best things for you. I know life won't always be easy and you will face many struggles, but through all those struggles I hope you learn to be a be a better person. Life is definitely not always fair, but if you learn an important lesson from each hardship it will only make you a stronger, more well-rounded individual. Your dad and I have so much love to give you. I know you are going to learn sooo much from your dad. He's so full of knowledge and sees the world through a different lens than most people. He will open your mind and teach you to question and explore, not just take things for what they appear to be on the surface. I can't wait for you to meet him, he may not realize it yet but he is going to be an amazing dad!


I just heard a song on tv by a band called Coldplay....maybe someday you will appreciate their music. The song is called "Fix You" and as I listened to it, tears came streaming down my face because it reminded me of you. I want you to hear this song someday and know that I will always be here to FIX YOU should you ever need a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on. You will always be my baby, even when you have kids and a family of your own! This song is for you....

Pregnancy Eviction Notice

Dear Baby River,


Pursuant to the provisions of this pregnancy, you are hereby given an eviction notice and notice to vacate, on or before May 17th, 2010, the premises and appurtenances owned by Amber, Mother of the City of Bellyville, which premises are now occupied by you. The current tenant has 30 days to gather his belongings and vacate the premises or he will be physically removed from the property. He is being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the front of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made. Remodeling and gutting of the home was never approved, nor was changing the initial layout and base structure. Due to property damage caused by these unapproved renovations, there are now leaks in both the upper and lower levels of the home. Any further problems will result in immediate and forceful removal.


Sincerely,


Your mother

Baby Shower March 20th

Bear with me as I type this....with my left hand! Sorry for the typos ahead of time. My arms are healing one day at a time. I'm in great spirits and so happy that River has decided to hold out just a bit longer while his moms arms heal!!

My girlfriends are just amazing!!! They threw me a shower that was perfect, down to every last detail. I can't begin to thank them enough for all the time and hard work they put into making this a perfect shower for us. I love you all so much!! Baby River is so lucky to be surrounded by so much love already. On top of the amazing shower, they also surprised me by unveiling River's decorated room. They'd been working so hard many days leading up to the shower and they kept me locked out. I was told not to peek, and I love surprises so I had no problem being patient and waiting for the BIG REVEAL. And Boy what a nice surprise it was, River definitely has one of the coolest baby rooms EVER. It looks like something out of a magazine!! I wouldn't change a thing!!

Look at all the beautiful ladies, I'm sure lucky to have such gorgeous friends that are just as gorgeous on the inside as they are on the outside!!

Custom water bottles with our personalized shower logo. It's River water!!!

Yummy ICE CREAM bar!!! My favorite pregnancy craving!!!
