12.2.2017.  Baby, I was so excited to see you. I just learned that I was carrying you just yesterday and  I was still in a joyful haze. On this day,  your daddy and I got to see you for the 1st time. We went to Chong Hua early in the morning and there it was confirmed we were having you. You were a small oblong on that screen but you already filled up my whole heart. We could not yet hear your heart beat but you already made my heart beat so fast in anticipation of finally getting to see you in a few months. Your estimated date of delivery was July 30. You were 5weeks and 6 days weeks in my tummy when we first saw you. I fell inlove with you at first sight.
