Another Ultrasound
Dear Baby,
This morning Dad and I went for another ultrasound. They said you are doing great — growing like a champ. You weigh about 4 pounds right now. You were also NOT in the mood to have your picture taken! You kept hiding behind your hands! You look much more like a baby now, too. We’re really excited to see your little face in person!
Love,
Mama
Your Face (You have to look really closely!)
Your Profile (Not two chins — you are resting your chin on your fist!)
A Quilt for You!
Dear Baby,
It was VERY hot outside today, so I decided to stay inside and sew. I made a quilt for you! It is made of flowery and pink flannel and is 3 feet x 4 feet so it will be perfect for when you are playing on the floor… I think you will like it!
Love,
Mama
You Have a Name!
Dear Baby,
Thought you might like to know that you have a name. Your dad and I have read about 10,000 names trying to find one we both like that will be great for you! I can’t share it with you here because your dad and I have agreed to keep it secret until you are born, but I think you’ll be happy. It is a name that will suit you well your whole life, doesn’t have any bizarre nicknames that we can think of, and your initials won’t spell anything absurd. So, we’re happy — hopefully you will be, too!
Love,
Mama
Room Update
Dear Baby,
Thought you might like to see how your room is coming along. We’ve added furniture and some stars for ya!
Love,
Mama
A Test Drive
Dear Baby,
So, for your dad’s birthday (May 30) I got him a special stroller for jogging, so that he (and I — when he’s busy) can take you walking/jogging around the neighborhood on adventures! Anyway, we decided to take it out of the box this weekend to make sure we had all the parts, etc. so we could return it if we needed to. Well, we got a little carried away and I decided to strap a doll into it utilizing the 5-point safety harness. Then, your dad decided to take it on a test run! It was too hilarious not to capture for you — so here it is in photos. I was thinking of this, too :
“He will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers.”
– Malachi 4:6
Your dad’s heart is definitely on you!!
Love,
Mama
The skid marks in the road are NOT from the stroller test jog! It’ll be fun, but not that fun!
