Dad,
Dear Child -
You are growing so fast and I am counting down the days until you get here. You are already making yourself known in the cravings that you are having for food. You have turned mom from a chocolate loving to a salt love. You have quite the taste I can already see.
We are starting to tell other people about your coming. We have told your grandparents and your brother and sister. We have also told a few friends who have been able to know because of the glow that you have put on your mother's face.
Your Dad!
I am growing fast! Last Thursday I was only at this stage,
7 weeks - Facial features are visible, including a mouth and tongue. The eyes have a retina and lens. The major muscle system is developed, and the unborn child practices moving. The child has its own blood type, distinct from the mother's. These blood cells are produced by the liver now instead of the yolk sac.

but in 3 days, I'll look like this!! 8 weeks - The unborn child, called a fetus at this stage, is about half an inch long. The tiny person is protected by the amnionic sac, filled with fluid. Inside, the child swims and moves gracefully. The arms and legs have lengthened, and fingers can be seen. The toes will develop in the next few days. Brain waves can be measured.
So, do you love me yet? I love you. Oh, and mom says to tell you she loves you too!

Even this past weekend we could tell the difference that you have made with your grandmother on your mom's side. She was very supportive and very loving to your mom and I can tell that your grandparents are already excited about your coming as well.
I know that God has great plans for you and I am thankful to Him everyday for giving you to me. I can't wait to see you grow and develop. I love you very much and tell mom I love her too.
Your Dad!

Young and Beautiful little one,
Your dad and I are so proud that you have come into our lives and we are so excited to meet you and teach you and watch you grow.
Dad's right (as he often is). You have completely made me feel like a different person, but it's ok. I'll share my body with you to protect you and help you develop. Just think of it as my first gift to you.
Just as Dad said, everyone is SO excited to know that you will be joining our family. They all can't wait to meet you.. especially your big brother and sister! But your grandparents too. They are truly thrilled to know how you are doing and are already thinking about Christmas presents for you this year (and you won't even be here yet)!
You are truly a gift from God and Dad and I love you already. We promise to be the best parents that we can be and love you always and forever, no matter what. You can always count on our love for you.
I love you sweet one,
Love mom
