Dear our little tadpole,

Wow. It's hard to believe it - but you really do exist! Everything about this feels very surreal right now. We found out on June 1 that we were going to have a baby and yet, almost 2 weeks later it still hasn't really sunk in. We are beyond thrilled, and so is everyone that we have told so far(mostly immediate family and VERY close friends). We went to the Dr. this past week and she confirmed that you are in fact there and growing(of course, I didn't have to hear that since my hungry tummy is a constant reminder of the fact I am feeding someone other than myself!). You already have a trunk full of goodies that we have been collecting over the past year or so knowing that one day we would be able to share them with you. Since we told some of your family they have also gotten a few things. One thing is for sure - you will be loved and you will not go without :)

We are excited to see you this Friday as we go for our first ultrasound. It will be the first of MANY pictures that you will have made. I am not afraid to use a camera (you will learn that soon enough I am sure). And yes, I say we because your Dad wouldn't miss this for anything. He was at the last appointment with questions to ask and was a huge help to me. You are a very lucky baby to have him as your Father. He actually got his first Father's day gift this past weekend!

We love you and are so excited to watch you grow and then to meet you and have the honor of sharing our lives with you. What a miracle and blessing you are to us both - and all of your other family you will meet soon enough! ♥
