Almost 8 Weeks In...

Dear Little Bean,

Can you believe you are almost 8 weeks into your development already? I can't believe how time flies by. Your first Christmas will be spent inside Mommy's womb. But it will still be special!! I still can't believe that you and I are really getting to know each other instead of dreaming about that day. It seemed like it was forever across the horizon and then all of a sudden, you were here!

I get to see you again on Wednesday. I can't wait. It will be so exciting. I'm always nervous about, just wanting everything to be perfect. I know it will be. Your heart was beating so steadily last week, and that was unbelievable. What a feeling. I can't even begin to tell you how it feels to hear that sound and see the flickering on the screen of the little heart that is yours. Some day, when you are married and expecting a baby, you will understand the emotions Mommy is having. You will understand the love I have had for you since before you even entered my body. 

Little Bean, this is just such an exciting time! I'm so glad you and I are getting to know each other and I can't wait for more passing weeks and months spent together.

Love,
Mom
