First Midwife Appointment and Halloween

October 31, 2012

Dear Baby Bean

Yesterday was an exciting day for us!  We got to go to the midwife’s office for the first time to talk all about you and your development.  It was about an hour  appointment and Bernie, our midwife, just asked me lots of questions about the things I’ve been eating, how my pregnancy with your sister went, and answered all of my questions.  At this point you should be almost 8 weeks old, and she says that so far everything looks good.  The best part of the appointment was when she said that she was going to order an early ultrasound so that we can have our first look at you and really determine your due date.  I’m am anxiously awaiting a call from the ultrasound scheduling department today so that we can schedule our first meeting with you!  I can’t wait to see you- I think you will probably look a little like a gummy bear- but it will be such a relief to make sure that you are where you’re supposed to be and that everything looks good.

Today is Halloween and your cousin Clara came over this morning before she had to go to school.  We had a lot of fun playing with Tenley and I can’t wait until Clara and the rest of the family can know about you- they are going to be SO EXCITED!  Tenley and I are planning on taking it easy today before we get inundated with trick or treaters later.  Tenley is going to be Minnie Mouse but I don’t think she will go trick or treating this year- she’s still too little.  Next year you can wear a cute little costume with your sister and it will be so much fun!  We love you so much and we can’t wait to see you (onscreen) in a few days J
