First Encounters

Dear Baby,
Today is a day I've been waiting for-the day we got to meet you for the first time.  It may be several more months before we get to hold you in our arms but pictures are the next best thing.  We watched your heart beat, saw your face, tiny arms and little baby feet.  I've been feeling your little kicks for several weeks now and today made it even more real to see your tiny little body moving around on the monitor.  It brought tears to my eyes.  Everything measured as it should.  In other words, you are perfect.  Although you weren't totally cooperative with the pictures, we were able to get three to bring home and share with everyone.  You are playing peek-a-boo in one of them which is very similar to one we have of your brother Andrew.  Your older brother and sister requested copies of their own and so those are now printed and proudly displayed in their rooms.  You may not be making your appearance for many more months yet, but we already love you so much!
