Dear Little Babe,

Dear little Babe, 

Today was one of the most exciting days. I really cried tears of joy when I found out about you. I haven't been able to stop looking at that cute little pink line. 

It was about one year ago that I realized I really wanted a baby. But dad and I weren't sure where life was going, so we decided together to wait a little bit. That didn't stop me from wanting you though. I would tell daddy every single day "I want a baby", he heard that multiple times every day! He wanted a babe too.

When dad joined the air force, it made it possible to have a baby and for us to become a mommy and dad. But we still had to wait on timing, we didn't want you to arrive while he was away. It was so hard for me to be apart from your dad while he was in basic training, that's when I became adamant about getting a baby. I didn't want to be left alone the next time he has to leave. And now I won't, I will have you with me all the time. 

Our forever family is ready for you. We will spend the next few months waiting for you to join us, little peanut. We love you!

Love, Mommy

Dear Daddy,

It's me, your little peanut! I love you oh so much. I can't wait to be in your arms. I can't wait to hug you and hear your voice, and read books with you! 

You know, mommy has been stressed about being so far away from you. I could feel her loneliness. But now that I'm here, things will get better. She was so excited to find out about me! 

Can you believe that I'm only the size if a poppy seed! And only been growing for two weeks and four days. 

Momma says how much she loves you, and how you will be the best daddy ever. She thinks you will be so cute with a little munchkin of your own. 

Love, your Baby 

Ps. I loove the brown bubbly drink, have her keep that one coming! 

We are so excited to be this baby's parents. It's true that the both of us have wanted a baby for a while now. And now is the perfect time! It has not been the best to be pregnant while away from my number one, but it does help to never feel completely alone. We have had so much fun sharing the news. Although we will be far away from home, this baby will be loved and has so many family members anticipating the day that they get to meet the babe! Now September cannot come soon enough!
