Dear Bean

Dear Bean,

Today we got to see you for the very first time. You are beautiful already. You are tiny -- 5.4 cm to be exact -- but you already look like a teeny tiny person. Your heartrate is 156 beats per minute. You are due June 5th -- so in about 32 weeks (give or take), we will be holding you in our arms.

You have the best big brother in the world. He is sweet and funny and he can make any animal noise there is. You two are going to share the neatest little room ever. It's a nursery that looks like a forest with a little log cabin nook. Sprout will love you and protect you and he will be your best friend forever.

Our family has been praying for you everyday -- multiple times per day. We can't wait to show you the world and to introduce you to a million other people that love you, too. We will read you stories and sing you songs. We will hike in the mountains and make sandcastles at the beach. We will take you to church, help you with your school work, and cheer for you at every game and play that you are in.

We love you, Bean. And we are so very excited to have you in our lives.

God bless! Here's to enjoying the next several months together and looking forward to that day when we'll finally be able to kiss that little face of yours.

Love always,
Mommy and Daddy
