Baby's 1st Pictures

We got to see the baby yesterday! The ultrasound tech got some awesome photos but this is one of my favorites...


It is so amazing to actually be able to see our little one moving around inside of me. I fall more in love everyday...

Coolest Thing Ever!

Today we got to hear the baby's heartbeat! It was seriously the coolest thing ever! I have never seen Andy smile so much before. We were both absolutely amazed. I am so renting a doppler so we can listen to the heartbeat at home!

Letter to the Baby

Dear Baby,

You don’t have a name yet. Your dad and I don’t even know if you are a boy or a girl. It is hard to explain how I am feeling (and you might not really ever understand until the day you become a parent). Even though we haven’t met you and we don’t know if our future will be full of Hot Wheel’s or Barbie’s – I have never been more in love with someone in my whole life. And that someone is you.

I fell in love with your dad almost 8 years ago. In fact it will be 8 years in less than a month – on September 1st. But the love I feel for you is so different. You are a part of both of us and right now you are growing away inside of me. Being pregnant with you is by far the coolest and most amazing thing I have ever been able to experience. I feel so lucky to be the mom because I am the one who gets to carry you. Not that you have made it all that easy on me – you haven’t!

Your dad and I were so excited when we found out that we were having a baby. Suddenly nothing else in the world mattered. Even though we planned having you – we never planned on how wonderful and overwhelmed with excitement we would feel when you became a reality. I feel so lucky because in addition to falling in love with you – I am falling in love with your dad all over again too. He already loves you so much too – he talks to you, kisses you goodnight every night and tells you that he loves you. I hope that one day you get to experience a relationship with someone that is as precious as the one that your dad and I have.

I want you to know that even before you were born I knew how special you would be. We created you with the hope that you will be the best person you can and that you will bring something amazing to this world that didn’t exist before you. My hope is to always be there for you, always love you and to give you the knowledge, guidance, and strength that you need to become whatever makes you happy. I can’t wait to find out if you are a boy or a girl but I am finding patience and trying to enjoy every moment that passes. After all I only get to be pregnant with you for another 6 ½ months.

All my love,

Mama
