Our New Addition's Heartbeat

Dear Mommy To Be -

I am so excited about our new addition.  I was so relieved to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time.  This baby is going to be so blessed to have you as it's mommy - just like I am blessed to have you as my wife.  I love you so much and I thank God everyday that I get to spend all of my days with you!

Dear Mommy To Be Again -

This past weekend you gave me one last surprise anniversary gift. You wrapped up a series of train cars with one extra car - the caboose! You told me we were going to have another baby.

You are such great mom and I know that you are going to do great over the next 9 months as we prepare for our little caboose to this family. I love you and I am so proud of you for carrying my child. I love you sweetheart!

Kaiden's 1st Birthday

Dear Mommy -

Dad let me use his blog to write you this letter on my first birthday. I hope you don't mind. I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for me during this first year of life. I know that I havn't said these things yet because I am still learning how to talk but I wanted you to know...

I have so enjoyed how you have watched me every night since my birth. I know that I haven't let you get much sleep but it is because I hate being away from you and when I wake up and you are not there I get very sad. I hope you notice the smile that comes to my face when you walk into the room. You just brighten my life so much.

You have given so much to me and I have really appreciated it. I love the time that you give me each day to play and how you spend time during dinner to feed me. I enjoy the moments that we have and I feel so close to you.

Thank you for all that you have taught me this year. You have helped to teach me how to crawl, walk, eat real food, and laugh. You are the best mommy any little boy could hope to have and I look forward to telling you that each day of my life.

Mommy, I really love you and I so lucky that God choose you to give me to. Thank you for all you have done for me this first year. I would have never made it without you.

Love your one year old son.

Baby Registry and More

Dear Baby Shopper -

This weekend we finished our tour of baby registries across the world. We now have registered our baby at Target; Babies R Us; and Buy Buy Baby. It is a bit overwhelming - all the things that we need for this new person in our life. However, I have a feeling that he will be alot like me in the fact that all he really needs is your love!

I love you so much, and I love the family and the life that we are creating. You are truly my one and only soulmate and I know that we will spend the rest of lives together. I truly love you now and forever -

Our Baby - Watch Him/Her Grow

7 Weeks and a Letter from you - how Impressive

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!

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.

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!
