Will today be your birthday???

It is now 12:03 am on Jan 17th, 2013. You mommy and I are so excited. As I write this, your mommy is resting so that she can bring you into this world and I'm sitting in a chair along side our Doula, Stacy. If everything goes according to plan, today may be the day we get to meet you. We both love you very much!

Love,

Mommy & Daddy

You're on the way

Well, mommy is in labor and it looks like you're getting ready to meet us :). Can't wait to meet you little one.

One day away

Hello little one. It's been a while since I last wrote to you but a lot has happened since then. Your mom and I finally finished your nursery and pretty much all of our baby shopping is done and we even agreed upon your name. I can't tell you what it is yet but, we think everyone will love it. So, it looks like we get to meet you any day now. Your mom and I are so excited. Tomorrow is the scheduled due date but everyone thinks that you'll arrive a little late. Don't keep us waiting too long.

Love,

Mommy & daddy

Lullabies & Memories

Tonight, just before I went to bed, I started thinking of all the childhood songs and lullabies that I had learned growing up. In a matter of seconds, song after song played in my head. It all started with the thought of one of my favorites growing up called "Baby Beluga". I remember the lyrics exactly. It's funny how one minute I was thinking about my workout plans for the next morning and then in an instant, I started singing the lyrics in my head. It just popped in there. I then started thinking of other songs and lullabies like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "The Cow Jumped Over The Moon" and it was like I never forgot them. The other day I even caught myself singing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" over and over again. I think the thought of meeting you soon and being a new dad are bringing back precious memories. I can't wait to share these with you. It's going to be so much fun. I feel like I'll be able to be a kid again (at least in sprit). I also found some old Disney books the other day that my Grandparents had given me when I was younger. I pulled them out and glossed over a few of the pages and I was taken back to my childhood. Memories that I had long forgotten about had once again become unlocked and I remembered them as if they happened only yesterday. Words can't describe the feeling that I got from those memories. A whole new world awaits being your daddy and I am so excited!

Love,

Daddy

Just a little longer

Just a little bit longer and you'll be here! It's so crazy to think that I'm going to be a dad in about a month. I'm really excited to meet you. Your mom and I have been working on your room and its coming along quite nicely. So far we have paint on the walls, your crib and changing table are set up, and we ordered a really cool wall decal to dress up your room. I can't wait to see the finished product. We also just got back from Disney world. Did you know that Mickey and Minnie Mouse were there? They loved touching your mom's belly with you inside. It was so much fun! We got a few pictures that we can't wait to show you. Your mom and I are looking forward to going back down there but next time we do, you get to meet Mickey and Minnie too! I'm sure that over these last few weeks before you arrive ill have a whole lot more to tell you. I love you.

Love,

The Baby Shower & Nursery

It's been a while since I last wrote to you but a lot has happened since. Last weekend we had your baby shower. It turned out great and your mommy and I were really happy with all the cute outfits and baby stuff that we received. We got a ton of diapers too! It's so crazy to think that we only have about a month and a half to go before you arrive and there is still so much to be done. One thing that we finally got started on was your nursery. This weekend we got it all painted a really pretty mango/orange color that we think you will like. We also put together your crib which looks really good. Your mommy and I keep going into the room and looking at it and we can't wait to see what your room will look like once it's all finished. It's all becoming more real every day. Right now your crib is all that is in there but don't worry, we will have it all nice and ready for you just in time for your big day.

10 Weeks to Go!

Holy cow little one, you're almost here!  Only 10 weeks left until your birthday and your mommy and I are so excited to meet you.  Time is flying by so fast and there is still so much to do, oh boy.  This weekend is the baby shower so hopefully you get some really cool things to play with and wear once you arrive.  I'm looking forward to playing with the toys too!  Your mommy and I were talking about names the other day and it looks like it's going to be a showdown.  I bet it comes down to the last minute too!  I have also been looking at your 3D ultrasound photos from a few weeks ago and I think you may have gotten my nose.  I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.  Like I mentioned a few months ago, I'm hoping you don't get my ears.  I was looking closely at the photos to see but I couldn't tell :)  No matter what features you get from your mom and I, you'll be a beautiful baby girl and that's one thing I know for sure.  I can't believe in 10 weeks I'm going to be a daddy, WOW!!  I want you to know that I'm always thinking of you and I love you so much!

Love,

Daddy
