Letter to Kaitlyn

Dear Kaitlyn,
While I sit here on the couch writing you this note, you are asleep in your room.  From day one, Daddy and I have taken turns rocking you to sleep.  We have held you close so you could hear the beating of our hearts and feel the warmth of our arms comforting you in the safety of our love until you were in peaceful slumber.  No matter

Yes, they do. It makes it harder when I work during the day. There are times when I come home and see a change in her that wasn't there the day before.

Oh this makes me teary-eyed!!! Especially because Noelle is the same way!!! I'll be thrilled when she will actually sleep in her own crib, but at the same time, it will make me so sad to not have her curled up dreaming on my chest. Beautiful letter!

Thanks! I'm so glad that you're back on LJ. I look forward to reading more of your letters to Noelle.

Believe me, I cried when we had to come to terms that Kaitlyn was too big for her bassinet and no longer could sleep in our room unless we were sharing our bed with her. It was a big relief when she finally got settled in her crib, but I still worried that with her being so far away, I wouldn't be able to hear her, even with the monitor. Now our bed is mainly for playtime in the early morning on weekends. It's kind of comforting...all three of us and the cats lounging in...one big family! We might need to get a bigger bed though!
