Dear baby - 5 more weeks!!

Dear baby,

We have approximately 5 more weeks until we meet you. It literally seems like a few days ago that we found out we were pregnant!! Your dad and I had dreamed of having you for some time, and while it took us a little while, you are well worth the wait. This past year we took test after test to see if you were on your way yet.....each test ended with a disappointing NO....until June 2009. June 2009, almost as if you were a little birthday present for me, came and the test said a joyful YES!!! I remember trying to figure out the fastest way to get to the doctor to confirm my findings....I remember sitting in the doctor's office and hearing those words YOU ARE PREGNANT!!!!!!! Your daddy and I were so overjoyed, and each day our joy has continued to multiply.

This past Sunday you weren't moving/kicking/punching/rolling....which isn't like you.....it really scared us and likewise made us realize our immense love for you already. We called your doctor and they sent us to the hospital to have you checked out, and thankfully you were perfectly fine. You started moving promptly after we arrived at the hospital which made us look like crazy first time parents- but we got to see you again (via ultrasound)! Your daddy also considered it a practice run for the REAL big day --which if Sunday was any indication I will be a wreck. Your daddy will be our rock.

Our lives revolve around you now, and forever will. In 5 weeks (or so!) we will meet you face to face. You will never understand how much meeting you means to us!!!

We love you!!!
Mommy and daddy
