Your First Picture

 

Dear Quinn,

 

This is the first picture we have of you. You were only 5 weeks and 5 days old. You were just a tiny little thing then. You didn't even look like a baby yet. But you were so amazing! Daddy and I were so nervous when we went to the perinatal specialist that day. We were hoping that we would get a glimpse of you and get confirmation that you were off to a good start. When they put your picture up on the screen, I was so excited to see you! I think I laughed and cried at the same time, because I was so full of happiness. Daddy and I were so happy to see your tiny heart beating already. I will never forget this day. When I saw you for the first time, I experienced such relief and joy. We knew our Mighty Quinn was really in there.

 

Now you are so much bigger and are taking up a lot more room! I love that you are bigger and that you are pushing my stomach out more each week, because it means you are growing and thriving.

 

I took a picture of my stomach that day. I look much different now. But it is such a special picture, because it is a picture of what I looked like on the day I first saw you.

 

  

Your due date is less than 11 weeks away. I can't believe that you have grown from that tiny little ball hidden in my flat stomach in to the baby that I will meet in just a couple of months. I am so, so thankful for you already, Quinn!

 

Love,

 

Mom
