Dear Granddaughter,

I bought my first gifts for you today. They are completely personalized, so no other baby in the world will have exactly what you are receiving! Of course, they can't be TOO personal yet, because your parents are waiting to tell us your name! They had names chosen if you were a boy, but now that you surpeesed them, they have to go back to the drawing board and retool. So I can't get anything with your name or initials....yet! But my friend Christie and I put our heads together and managed to come up with some fabulousa things for you. You also got a pair of zebra stripe boots with hot pink trim! Won't you look adorable in those? Grandma Waugh just couldn't resist! I had found some pretty cute boy clothes, but guess I will wait to get those. For now, I will get back to looking at tutus and headbands, hats and shoes. I hope you are enjoying growing, and working on your fabulous mane! You are probably beginning to suck your little fingers or toes, too. Looking so forward to January! Can't wait to kiss you, Love, Mimsi

You Are A Little Girl!

I am so happy and excited! I told your mama you were going to be a girl. I thought you were, and you are! Both of your grandmas and grandpas are so excited! Your daddy's parents only had boys, so you will be a new adventure for them. Of course, we know all about little girls and have saved many precious things to share with  you: blankets, shoes, dresses!  I'm sure you will get lots of new things too and if you inherit your aunt's sense of fashion, which I am sure you will, you will know all about how to incorporate new and vintage! You will learn about the farm and animals, and the church and movies, reading and english, Harry Potter and Beatrix Potter! You have so many people waiting to hold you, who love you already!! You just take your time growing and thriving in your warm, safe, snug little environment and we will do the best we can to take care of your mommy and daddy, and can't wait to welcome you with arms wide open!  Love, Grandma=)
