Hi, it's Anna Scott

Right now, I am still tucked safe and sound inside Mommy's tummy, but soon I will enter this big, big world for the very first time.  I am thankful to have parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins and friends who already love me so much and will take good care of me.  

My mommy already talks and sings to me a lot.  Lately, she has been getting everything ready for me to arrive.  She says my dresses look so pretty hanging in my closet...

 

When I am ready to come home from the hospital, I will wear one of the dresses my Aunt Allison smocked for me.  Mom says that, as a girl, it is sometimes hard to make a decision on the perfect thing to wear.  I guess I will choose the one that fits me best.  :)  Aunt Allison can help me decide.  I can't wait to meet her.  Mom says she will be one of my very favorite people. 

I have a lot of dresses, gowns and blankets that are extra special.  That's because they were my mommy's when she was a baby.  She washed all of them and says they are as good as new.

Mom says I had some wonderful baby showers and got lots of pretty things!  She said we should send a thank you note to all of the nice people who were so sweet to give me a gift.  The notes are our very first set of stationery with my monogram on them.  

Because I could come anytime now and mom isn't really sure when, my bags are packed for our stay in the hospital.  I have a pink diaper bag.  Mom says it was a gift from some sweet ladies at church.  Mom got me a pink hanging bag too.  She says every girl needs a hanging bag... even baby girls.  :)  

Daddy got Mommy and I matching pajamas for the hospital.  They are ready to be packed along with everything else.  Mom says we will wear these a lot after I am born.

Mom is always talking about my first weeks at home.  She says I will sleep right beside her and Daddy in a pretty cradle that was hers when she was a baby.  I can't wait to sleep in my cradle.  It will be so comfy that I will be sleeping through the night before you know it.  

Mom says my nursery will be ready soon.  She is waiting on just few more things before it's complete.  I think she spends a lot of time in my nursery already, rocking in my chair.  Hopefully, she can post pictures before she grabs our bags and heads to the hospital.    

It's been a long nine months, but May is finally here and my birthday is coming soon...
