heartbreaker

hiya apple pie!

Guess what? I saw you today...I got to take a little peak inside your little home and you know what? You are breathtaking. Your place seems a little small, but cozy, just like your place out here! The thing is, I wasn't supposed to get to see you for another couple of weeks but something funny happened today...

So, as lovely as you were to me the first three months, your rapid growth was causing some major hormone swings. Major! Which made my heart flutter, and flitter, and flutter again. So much so it worried us just a bit so I called my doctor and they made me go in and get all hooked up to all sorts of heartbeat monitors. Turns out my heart only likes to flitter when it's not being watched, so I had to go in for an EKG, which is an ultrasound of my heart! So I went in for the EKG today, and when I walked into the room I saw the ultrasound machine and I got a little twinkle in my eye...and I thought...hmmm...isn't that the same machine that takes pictures of my little apple buddy? Turns out it is! Turns out my ultrasound tech was awesome! And she let me sneak a peak of YOU little buddy! How cool is that?

And there you were! Your brain is the first thing we saw, and then your hands, and arms, and neck, and body...and you were wiggling, as usual, you gave us a little fist bump...and you know, if they'd been watching my heart at this point they would have seen it grow and explode with love.

It went too fast, I could've sat and watched you forever. Your dad was working today so he didn't get to see you waving at us, but he is so excited to see you in a couple weeks when we get to find out whether you have boy parts or girls parts. I can't wait for him to see you!



Oh! And as promised, this is Panda! That is you there in that big blue belly...so really this is like the first panda/baby picture. I can guarantee that there will be more. Because your parents are nerds. Panda is going to love the heck out of you...especially when you get to the point where you start dropping food everywhere.

Well apple buddy, off to sleep for Panda and I...when your dad is at work it usually takes us a little longer to get settled. You'll see, the routines are just a little off and the house just feels a little different.

Goodnight baby, see you soon.
