Dear Bella,
I have been feeling your presence more lately, sometimes catching glimpses. I can tell Bo knows something is going on, though she hasn't quite figured it out yet. I feel bad about keeping so much from her, but I don't want her to worry about me. I want her focused on nothing else but bringing our grandchild into the world and staying healthy herself.
I know that no matter what we could have done differently, nothing would have made a difference, but I want positive thinking only for Bo. Though she isn't saying so, I am sure you are in the back of her mind. Wishing you were here for advice, craving a mother, and also that little fear of what if.
Chris has been pleading for a dog, insisting it would be good for the baby to grow up with animals. Bo isn't so sure about having so many new responsibilities at once, though I can see her resolve slipping more and more.
The baby should be here any time now, and the timing can't be more perfect. My doctors aren't very optimistic and have been urging me to admit myself into the hospital, to tell Bo. They are frustrated over my stubbornness, but I truly feel I know what I am doing. I only want the best for everyone.
See you soon.
Love,
Your Edward
