Your Mom and I had our monthly doctor’s visit and I am pleased to report that you are doing great.  I cannot tell you how special it is to hear your tiny beating heart.  We go back to the doctor in three weeks and then every two weeks after that.  I can’t believe how fast things are moving!

You are getting so big that I can actually see you moving in Mom’s belly.  Sometimes, when I see you move around, I tap Mom’s belly and it’s amazing because I am playing with you for the first time.  It makes me think of all the games we are going to play and the fun things we are going to do together.  I think you will be teaching me as much as I hope to teach you.  You already are.

We need to take it easy, though.  Mom can get VERY tired VERY quickly.  It comes out of the blue.  She is using up a lot of her energy to nurture you.  Your Mom loves you very much.

When people find out that Mom and I are having a baby, they always ask two questions.  The first question is whether we are having a girl or a boy.  When we tell them that we do not know and plan to wait until you are born to find out, they usually ask why.  The answer is easy – we want you to tell us.

Love, 

Dad
