1st letter to baby #2

(written after my 8-week ultrasound - Dec 9th 2013) 

Little Bean,

For almost 9 weeks weeks now, I have wondered about you.  Prayed that you were growing healthy and strong.  Anticipated who you will be and what you will look like.  Sometimes, nervously holding my breath. I've learned a lot this year and above all I think I've come to my own realization that you can't take anything for granted.  Today, in that tiny dimly lit ultrasound room, I nervously waited to see you....there you were....a tiny little thing with a strong heartbeat. It was such a wonderful sight to see.

This day will be tucked away with some of the best moments of my life, nothing quite like hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time. I look forward to more doctors appointments, a growing belly and all the tiny preparations that will bring us closer to you.
