Mummy loves you!

There's just over 4 months until you're due to come into this world. I'm so excited to see you. I want to hold you, and kiss you and see you looking back at me. It's hard to really comprehend that such a wonderful baby is growing inside of me. At times it's easier than others. Today you were moving around while the Sacrament was passed. I like to feel you moving around inside - it makes it more real to me. Daddy likes it too, it is great when he gets to feel you too. It seems that you like Daddy's warm hands holding my now very round tummy. You move more. Hopefully in the coming weeks you'll start kicking lots! Maybe we can then see you kicking and not just feel you. I just can't wait to hold you. I love you!

A Message from Daddy

It was so wonderful to see the first little pictures of you, as you seemed to look out at us, and kick your tiny arms and legs to say hello. I remember your mother and I laughing with joy as we saw that together, and realised again how lucky we were to get to be your parents.

Your wonderful mother has sometimes felt unwell, and often feels tired - but she is so happy to go through these things for you. This is because you are so special to us; our first child, the beginning of our family.

We both love you very much. We'll do everything we can to prepare, so when you come to us, we'll be able to give you everything you need to grow up healthy and happy.

One day you will be able to read this, and know just how much we loved you, even now, before we can hold you in our arms. Thank you, our sweet baby, for bringing us so much joy and love!
