Dear Baby: !!

I have been absent from writing to you for some time, but trust me you have been along for everything - every moment of the ride! This Monday your dad and I got to hear your heart beat and relish the sound of hearing life rushing through your little tiny body. This coming Thursday your dad and I are really looking forward to getting to see you and hear you once again. We are excited to spend some time together seeing you and marvelling at the miracle and answer to prayers that you are. You are certain to change our lives in each and every way - and we cannot wait for you!!

Let's take a peek at what you are doing this week: "Your baby's crown-to-rump length is 5.2 to 6 inches this week. Your baby weighs approximately 7 ounces and will increase its weight more than 15 times between now and birth! One of the most amazing aspects of your baby's growth and development is that of the fetal brain. Your baby's brain is one of the first organs to appear. Your baby's oversized head shows the brain's importance in his development. Because the nerves that connect the muscles to the brain have grown into place, your baby's movements are consciously directed. Your baby's ears stand out from the sides of the head and the buds for your baby's permanent teeth appear. Your baby's arms and legs have reached their relative proportions and his feet are approximately one inch long."

See you Thursday baby!
Love you to the moon and back!
Mommy and daddy
