Dear Baby

Well little boy,

I don’t know what it is about receiving so much beautiful news about you, but instead of crying or jumping for joy, it seems that giving high fives is going to be our gesture of choice for celebrating. The day we learned that we were about to embark on the adventures of parenthood, we stood in our bedroom half in shock, half consumed by the most warm and happy feelings of our lives and everytime we caught each other’s eyes we would give each other a high five.

After our ultrasound this week, as our family scattered in different directions - we stood outside in the warm sun with mile-wide smiles across our faces. In a span of 30 minutes you had gone from ” a baby” to a little boy - a son who would fill our lives with so much adventure and love. Your father and I stood outside, caught each other’s eyes and without saying a word we high fived. Instantly we broke into laughter - and decided to reinact it for the camera.

We plan to spend the rest of lives high fiving our good luck in having you.
