We can see you!

Dear Baby,

I'm posting this a little late, but during our last doctor's visit, we saw an ultra sound and for the first time saw the shape of your body.  I swear if we were to look close enough we could almost make out all your little features.  The video is kind of long, but we figured it would give everyone a chance to see you the best they could.

love,

Papa

Your furry brother & sister

Dear Baby,

I can't wait for you to meet your two siblings that will be waiting to greet you with lots of licks and cuddles....But don't worry, I'll make sure they are gentle.  So with that said, I made a quick video for you featuring none other than Olive and Mr. Q.  They'll be waiting!

love,

Dad

The stroller dillema

 

Dear Baby,

If only you could see how much fun I am having reviewing all the gear that we will need to make you feel right at home.  My current project - strollers!  Amongst the many, I have narrowed it down to the Bugaboo, OrbitBaby, and Bob.  Wish I could read your mind to know what you would prefer, but I guess when you picture all the wonderful places we'll see together, I can promise you that you will be cozy, safe and riding in style :).  I look forward to our walks in the park with you Mom and putting the coffee holder to use while the shocks of your stroller gently absorb the pavement and the rain shield you will have protects you from the light drizzle.  Okay, maybe no drizzle since I doubt we will take you out in the rain, but you get the idea.  Fun, fun, fun.

love,

Dad

The hearbeat

Dear Baby,

What an amazing feeling this was!

Unfortunately, the volume was lost during recording for some reason, but basically this is the Doctor showing us for the first time your heartbeat. Would of been nice for you to hear the Doc's description :(, but I guess the visual will have to do.  This was our first glimpse of your life in motion.

love,

Dad

Telling Grandma

Dear Baby,

We couldn't wait to tell our loved ones about you and I have to admit I was a bit nervous to tell your Great Grandmother because it was such a big moment for us.  I didn't have anything in particular planned, all I knew was that I wanted it to be on camera.  So I set up the camera, and just started asking her questions.  What followed was pure joy and hysteria as Grandma Luiba showed her undeniable joy and excitement at the news that you were on your way.  Your Mom, Great Auntie Livia, and your cousin Ashley were all there to share in this moment.  The little ones Olive & Mr. Q were also there adding to the laughter and tears that were shared for you.

love,

Papa
