Dear Jackie,

I wanted to write you this letter, but I also wanted to share it with everyone because when you are in love with someone, you shout it from the mountain tops (or your domain name). Yesterday we reached a memorable mile stone in our lives together. It was also a personal mile stone for me. We felt and saw our baby kick. I know you have been feeling him move for a week or so now, but for both of us to witness it together made it complete. I have been waiting to feel my baby kick for as long as I can remember, long before we were married or dated. We have gone from friends, to lovers to best friends to husband and wife, and now soon to be Mom and Dad. Seeing the baby move made that so very real for me. (I am hardly crying, as you like to say). I am so proud of you. What you are doing and carrying is miraculous, God sent and breath taking. Half way into this and I grow more in love with you both every day. I also know our little boy loves his mom. I know this from feeling his gentle little nudges and flutters from outside his little home inside you. It was him showing us he has your gentle soul and caring touch, and he knows we are out here waiting for him.

I love you both with all my heart, and look forward to the many more milestones we cross together as a family.
