Dear Julia,
You would have been almost 3 months old today! I think of you everyday, and what you would be like if you were still here. You would be getting so big, and your daddy and I would be fast becoming parenting pros. We would have taken many a walk around the city, with you either in your stroller or bundled up in the baby bjorn. We would have gotten to actually go to many of the popular brunch places, since you would have gotten us up early enough to get there before they got crowded. We would be settling into a new routine. You would wake up with your daddy in the morning and he would change and feed you before he headed off to work. You and I would sleep for a little longer after that , and then get up to begin our day. Nighttime would be spent as a family or with one or two of the many people who were eagerly awaiting your arrival.
We have a beautiful picture of you up in the apartment, and as I sit on the couch I can look across the room and see you. I have also started a scrapbook that is all about you. I have pictures of you in my tummy, and your dad and I can't believe how big I was toward the end. It is hard to believe that you fit inside of me. But my favorite things are the pictures we have of you. As I mentioned, we have two up in the apartment, and I also have pictures of you in my office at work. Everyone comments on how beautiful you are, and how much hair you have! I also carry a picture of you in my wallet, so you are always with me.
I hope you know that we will never forget you. I know it seems that people don't talk about you as much anymore. I think that they are worried about making your dad and I sad. I wish they could realize that all we want is to talk about you! You are our first born and we are so proud of what we did. We are so proud of you, because you were a fighter. We are still sad a lot of the time. We loved you so much and miss you every second of every day. We feel confused a lot of the time. We are parents, but we don't have you to take care of. That's the bad news. The good news is we will always have you to love. You will always be our daughter.
