Dear Matthew
I'm sure I've probably mentioned it previously but this pregnancy we're doing things a little differently and using independent midwife care. The benefit of this (amongst many positives) is that Peta, our midwife, comes to our house for all of our appointments. She is an amazing woman who, if you can believe it, lets you kick her in the back and head while we're chatting and includes you in every part of the check up.
At our recent appointment last week you helped measure my fundus to ensure the baby/my belly is growing at the correct speed (roughly 1cm per week). She then used the Doppler to listen to the baby's heartbeat and you were quite captivated by this. So much so that yesterday while we were cuddling on the couch I suggested you see how big the baby is getting, so you went and grabbed a couple of measuring tapes and got measuring. You then used my phone as a Doppler and tried to hear the baby's heartbeat. Talk about making your mama's heart melt :)
I'm so pleased you're starting to really embrace your sibling, just in time too as he or she will be joining us in around two months! No matter what though, you will always be my first baby, the beautiful boy who turned us into a family.
Love you baby boy,
Mum xxx
