Dear LD...

Dear Little Dude,

These last ten months that Mommy has carried you have been the most amazing months of her life. To feel you grow inside my belly and see you on the ultrasounds has been indescribable. You have given your Mommy the most incredible gift that anyone could give another. From the very first time Mommy & Daddy saw your little heartbeat on the ultrasound you were our dream come true. Mommy will never forget the first time she heard your heartbeat, or finding out you were a little boy. She will never forget feeling your first movements, like little popcorns popping in her tummy. Mommy will never forget the look on Daddy's face when he first felt you move either. She'll never forget your first trip when you went to Vegas in Mommy's belly and you were moving and shaking all over the place!! These last ten months have been such a blessing. You have grown so big and so strong. Feeling as your little popcorn kicks turned into strong belly shaking karate kicks has been amazing!! These first ten months of your life have been shared in a very special way with Mommy. She has had you in her tummy and you've grown and become ready to enter the outside world. You've kept her giggling with your hiccups and put her in line with you kicks. At night she would lay in bed and just feel your movements and know this was a very special time for you and I. Now it's almost time for Mommy to share you. The time has come for you to join everyone in the outside world. Everyone is anxiously awaiting your arrival and they cannot wait to meet you!! Daddy is so excited and everyday he asks if today is the day. He is going to be such an amazing Daddy that Mommy can't wait to share you with him!! He loves you so much and he's going to take such good care of you. Mommy will always cherish these last ten special months. There is nothing that could ever compare to way she spent these months with you. Now Mommy and Daddy are ready to spend the rest of our lives watching you grow and flourish in the outside world. We're ready to watch you achieve the greatness we know you're destined for and to pick you up and dust you off when life knocks you down. Little Dude I just wanted to thank you for forever changing my life for the better and for sharing the last ten months with me in the special way we have. I want you to know how ready we are to welcome you into this great big outside world and how we're here waiting when you're ready to come!! I love you so much and I truly am so excited to spend the rest of my life watching you grow!!

Love,
Mommy
