Charlie, my love, Daddy and I had a chance to see you the other day. It was January 28. You were only 9.5 weeks! You looked like a little bean. We have pictures... But it's nearly impossible to tell anything about you in them.
Now, you're getting so big! You're the size of a kiwi fruit. Daddy and I went to the doctor yesterday and she helped us hear your heartbeat. It's so fast! I'm proud of you, my little darling. You're doing so well.
I just moved all your little clothes and toys to a dresser by Mama's bed. We have girl clothes and boy clothes because you haven't told us yet what you are! That's also why Daddy doesn't want to talk about your name yet. So we will wait until April... Near the end of April. Then the doctor will help us look again and she will give us more pictures and we will see your beautiful face and arms and legs... And then we will name you.
Dear Charlie, we are all so thrilled to have you! Grandma and Papa just light up when they see how my tummy is growing with you inside. You have to believe we had the hardest time getting anyone to stay quiet about it--especially your aunts and Grandma on Daddy's side!
Just a short post today... Mama has to go to work. Well, I guess *we* have to go to work. Love you, Baby.
