Finally, I meet my baby!

Your eyes saw my unformed body, all the days ordained for me were written in your book, before even one of them came to be. Psalm 139:16

Little Bean, 

I am on cloud nine! We went in for our scan today, and we got to see you for the first time ever. You are so

tiny! But you are there, growing, and your perfect little heart is beating away! Your daddy had tears in his

eyes, and he was so so excited to see you - and he was amazed at your heartbeat...your'e so strong!

We can already make out your little head, and tum, and tucked up legs! 

I am so in love with every little bit of you - who knew I could love someone so small in such a BIG way. It amazes me so much! Kind of a reflection, a very small reflection, of how much God loves us! 

We also have this little video, where you can see your heart flickering away - its not very clear - I think we were too beside ourselves with excitement to be able to do anything that required fine motor skills - but I am glad we have the memory recorded at least :) 

I cant wait to see you again - we have to wait a WHOLE month which feels like an absolute eternity away! But when we do finally get to it, they will be able to tell us roughly when you might be in our arms! I am pretty excited about that. According to my calculations, that should be about 10th July 2014 - we will soon know! 

We love you so much little one, 

Love from,

Mama

Small bump...

For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mothers womb. Psalm 139:13

Little Bean, that's what we have been calling you! Your dad occasionally calls you 'Mr Bean' and I have to remind him that we don't know that for sure yet! I do feel like your'e a boy though! I don't know why :) mothers instinct I guess! If you are a boy we plan to call you Malakai Daniel. In my head I have been calling you that for a while already though! 

Its my birthday tomorrow, but I hardly remembered, I am so focussed on your birthday and yet we have a whole 7 months to wait still! I am about 7 or so weeks pregnant, but we wont know for sure until our scan. Only 2 days to wait until we see you - see if your heart is beating and whether you are growing in the right place. I am so scared - I just know the world will stop spinning in that moment where we wait to see if your heart is beating. You mean so much to us already. God is so good to give us you to treasure - I pray every day that He lets us look after you for a long time. It would hurt too much to have to say goodbye so soon! 

Your daddy invited some people over yesterday for a surprise pizza party for me. He is so good to me! I was feeling so sick, and it really cheered me up :) The house was filled with lots of little people - and it made me smile to think that it wouldn't be long until you would be running around in our lives. 

I took a picture afterwards of our cat Oscar sleeping on my belly because I am starting to get a little bump -
I think Oscar knows that your'e in there because he has become really attached to my belly lately! 

I cant wait to see you on Wednesday - until then, keep growing strong! We love you so much already! 

Lots of love, 

Mama
