Dear little Latte….

Dear little Latte,

Today daddy and I went for our ultrasound. For the first time we got to see you while you were in mommy's tummy. We saw a perfect profile of your beautiful little face, your body and your very longs legs that you seem to love to stretch out and cross at the ankles, just like your daddy does. You were moving and kicking and even flipped completely at one point. And you are a little stubborn as well, just like mommy (according to daddy). You wouldn't hold still long enough for the technician so she could get a measurement of your little head. You would roll onto your tummy and tuck your head down. I definitely got a bit misty eyed while watching you and fell in love with you all over again. We don't know if you are our little prince or princess, but we will find out soon enough when you are born. I'm so glad that you are ours and we look forward to meeting you in just a few months now.

love you our little Latte,
mommy

Dear little Latte,

We are now just past the half way mark and you are growing like crazy. I feel your kicks and punches much more strongly now and daddy feels them too! The other night, as I laid in bed, I could see my belly move up and down wherever you kicked. It was fun to watch. We ordered your stroller for you and you are going to love it. When you're a bit older mommy will take you for jogs in it and we will have heaps of fun. Daddy and I have also been looking at other essentials that will make your room nice and cozy for your arrival. We don't know if we will be living in Medicine Hat still or if we will be moving closer to Grandma and Grandpa yet, but soon enough we will have that figured out, don't you worry. Mommy also signed up for our prenatal classes, where daddy and I can learn a lot about you and how to properly take care of you so you'll grow big and strong. I think that will be a lot of fun. I'll write to you soon again my beautiful little Latte. I love you.
