Dear Baby,

Today is an extra special day, because today is the day we tell all of our friends and family about you!

We are so excited to share the news that you are coming. You are going to have so many people clamoring to see your adorable face when you come into the world! Don’t worry if you can’t keep them all straight, just know that you’re coming into a world where you’re going to be surrounded by people who love you and have been praying for your safe arrival.

This week you have grown to the size of a lime. Limes are a sour green citrus fruit that is used in a lot of very yummy cooking, like Mexican and Thai food. They are full of Vitamin C, which helped sailors a long time ago fight off a sickness called “scurvy” on long voyages. British sailors were so well known for their use of limes that “limey” became a slang term for all people from Britain. Neat, huh?

Love,

Dad
