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
