Dear Jocelyn,
I am ashamed that I haven't written you more often. You are 14 months old now. Every time I look at you I am reminded how quickly this "baby" stage passes. Before I know it you will be running all over with Boston, getting into all sorts of toddler trouble. You are trying to walk. Ever so cautious, just like your big brother.
You are a wirey bundle of joy. So determined, full of personality, and a dash of attitude! You will be a strong woman one day Miss Joce, I can see it now.
You love animals and are learning to pet them "softly." Those two middle fingers rarely leave your mouth and portray all that is pure and innocent. I love rocking you and reading you stories as you crawl all over my lap.
I've been trying to put your crazy hair in pigtails and ponytails much to your dismay. Perhaps you have a little tomboy in you..that's ok as long as you promise to go shopping with me and come with me to get your nails done!
I love to watch you clap and give kisses and point. I'm still waiting to hear you say Mama. Your joy over the simple things in life makes life worthwhile.
I love you princess.
Forever and Ever,
Mommy

Princess
Princess Jocelyn,
I call you my princess several times during the day and you certainly are all that that entails. The sight of your sweet smile lights up my whole world. I feel so lucky to be your called your Mother. You are growing so fast. I can't believe you are 7 months old already. You are starting to crawl and can pretty much get anything you want. You are also working on sitting up. You have tried lots of yummy baby foods and love to nibble on graham crackers and cheerios. You have two adorable bottom teeth that makes your smile all the more charming.
You are still our little Diva (I suppose that comes with being a princess!) Your howl can send me covering my ears racing to hide from your unique shrill, but as soon as I see that smile I fall in love with you all over again.
You LOVE your big brother Boston and he loves you to he says "baby Joce" throughout the day when he sees you. I know you will have such an incredible bond throughout your lives.
I love shopping for you and holding your cheek next to mine. I think I must kiss you 1000 times a day. You make our lives so complete.
I love you from the top of your head to the tips of your toes!
Always and Forever,
Mommy

Sweet Smiles
Dear Jocelyn,
I can't believe you are 7 weeks old today and I have yet to write you this letter. I will give the excuse that I have been rocking and nursing and holding you too much to sit down and write. I'll admit I've forgotten how time consuming a newborn is, but I try to remind myself that before I know it you will be wiggling out of my arms and I won't be able to hold you as I do now, so I am trying to remind myself to cherish these days.
You are beautiful, petite, dainty and everything a girl should be. I loved you from the moment we met and I can feel that growing and growing. Many Many times I have gotten emotional at just the sight or thought of you. I feel so so lucky to be your Momma and Boston's.
I love looking into your deep blue eyes. I know there color will change but the innocence will remain. They are everything lovely and precious. I love to kiss your soft cheeks over and over. I love to tuck your head under my chin. I love it when you are nursing and you smile. It makes you so happy.
Speaking of smiles you've been cracking those precious first smiles lately and they are making all the wailing of your cries worth it. I love talking to you and hope that you will start to coo more. Your smiles are lighting up my life though.
It's all down hill from here sweetheart. Right now you are getting used to this world. Your are easily startled and love to be cuddled and held all the time. You scream almost everytime I put you down because you want to be close.
You hate your bath, but you loved it the other night when I put you in the tub with me. I swirled you around the water and you seemed so content. It was a moment I will treasure.
Many more precious moments are to come.
I love you forever baby girl.
Love,
Mommy

Can't Wait To Meet You
Dear Jocelyn,
I've been spoiled this week to be able to check up on you two days in a row. Your Grandma Young works down at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and she's been able to hook us up with frequent ultrasounds. You looked so beautiful and you are getting so big. The technician estimated you weigh about 4 lbs. 10 oz. (give or take 1/2 a pound) so you are strong and healthy. I love watching the rythmn of your strong heart. I love to see how snuggly you are inside me. I can't wait to swaddle you up and hold you cheek to cheek. I can't wait to look into your beautiful eyes and to smell that sweet baby smell. You were also very cute sticking out your tongue for the camera! Your big brother was very nervous about this whole ultra-sound process. He is very protective of me and screams when he thinks anyone could possibly be hurting me. I'm sure someday he will be equally protective of you. You might hear him scream a lot when we first bring you home, he doesn't quite understand you are coming to our family and he wants all of Mommy's attention, but I know eventually he will be one of your best friends!
Yesterday I went for my routine doctor's visit and once again I was able to hear your precious heart beat. I worry about your well being all the time and it is always so reassuring to feel your precious kicks and rolls and to hear your heart beat. I've also started to feel you get the hiccups and I feel so bad for you when you get them, but I also love knowing you are alive and thriving inside of me.
I've also been buying you tons of cute new outfits and decorating your room. You will always be my little princess, all decked out in bows and nail polish and glam. I'm sure you will be spoiled just like your big brother Boston, but there is nothing a Mommy won't do for her babies! I can't believe you will be here within the next 7 weeks and I am so so excited to meet you!
Love Always and Forever,
Mommy

Sweet Baby Kicks
Dear Jocey,
I'm thinking of you this morning as I often am. I swear I constantly worry and fret over you and your big brother because you mean so very much to me. You, Daddy, Boston and Snuggles are my entire world. I live and breath just to be with you.
It has been so wonderful lately to feel your sweet baby kicks. I love every tender kick. It reassures me that you are alive and thriving inside me even if I can't see you. I want nothing more than for you to arrive here safe and sound. I can't wait to hold you in my arms and take your beauty in.
I hope so much that I am giving you enough. I will admitt you have a very sleep deprived stressed out Mommy. I get up at 3am to do traffic and news for 3 local radio stations and a television station out of Rhode Island. I toss and turn during the night and Boston has always struggled with sleep. Between his cries and Snuggles whines to be let outside I sneak by on very little shut eye and I hope dearly that this isn't effecting you. I'm giving this lifestyle up after you are born because I think you and Boston deserve a fun-loving attentive Mommy instead of a walking zombie.
I want to teach you about how important it is to be a good Mommy. I don't want you to ever put a frivilous thing like a career ahead of raising beautiful children. I've made that mistake to a certain degree and I want you to know that I sincerely plan on changing my ways. Motherhood is the most devine calling on this earth and I am more proud to be called Mommy over being on the radio anyday.
I want to give you so much. I can't wait to start decorating your room and I daydream of dressing you in shades of pink and beautiful bows with painted nails and dazzling bracelets. I love you sweet baby girl. You are another answer to my prayers and you make our family so complete.
Love Always and Forever,
Mommy

So Excited!!
Dear Jocelyn,
Yesterday I went to the doctors to get another ultrasound and it was so beautiful and wonderful to see you!! They confirmed that indeed you are a girl and promised me I could go crazy buying all things pink! I've already bought you a few cute outfits but now that they have promised me you are my sweet baby girl, I can guarantee I will spoil you just a bit!!
When you grow up I dream of sending your Daddy and Boston golfing, while we do some serious shopping and go to the spa to get massages and pedicures!! Just the thought makes me glow.
You were wiggly as can be on the ultrasound.. so you will probably be full of energy just like your big Brother! The two of you are sure to keep us busy and your sure to light up our worlds continuously. I hope you are blessed with a contagious laugh like your brother. I can't wait to see the two of you together.
I am so GRATEFUL that you are healthy and strong growing inside me and I pray that you stay that way and continue to do well. There is nothing a Mommy prays for more than the health and well being of her children. I love you sweetheart with all of my heart. Sugar and Spice and everything Nice... that's what little girls are made of!! I am so excited to meet you Jocey!!
Love Always and Forever,
Your Mommy

My Sweet Baby Girl
Dear Jocelyn,
Last week we learned that this sweet little baby growing inside of me is a girl. I can't even begin to tell you the excitement I felt when the doctor told us that. Of course I love your big brother Boston and your Daddy and Snuggles more than I ever thought I could love three boys, but there is something special about a Mom and her daughter and I am so excited I get to experience that beautiful bond with you. Your Daddy was smirking during the entire ultrasound because he just knew from the beginning that you would be our sweet baby girl.
Years and years ago I thought about the name Jocelyn. I thought it was so beautiful and girl and elegant. I dreamed of having my little Jocey someday. Of course your Daddy and I discussed other names, but from almost the moment we found out I was pregnant with you, Daddy said if it's a girl let's name her Jocelyn. A friend of mine has a little girl named Jocelyn and she told me it meant beautiful, honest and just. I am sure you will be all three of those things.
Of course I've been worried about you growing inside of me. I am anxiously waiting for your precious kicks and it is always a huge relief to hear your strong heart beat when we go to the doctors. I would do anything for you my sweet girl. I want nothing more than for you to be healthy and strong like your big Brother. He will teach you so many things. I'm sure you will be partners in crime!! I hope you are so close. I know he will love you so much.
I can't wait to go shopping for all things pink. I can't wait to do your hair someday and paint your nails. I can't wait to dress you all up for Sunday. I can't wait to have long talks with you and go shopping and to lunch with you. My family is my best friends and I just know you will become one of the best friends I will ever have.
We want you and love you even before you are born.
Like I always tell Boston. I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living and forever my baby you'll be.
Love Always and Forever,
Mommy
