Dear Hootie,

We are so excited to have you come into our lives. We have been waiting so long for your arrival and Barrett is thrilled at the thought of having a baby brother to care for and play with. He can't wait to hold you and feed you and read his books to you. When I asked him if he was ready to have a baby brother, he told me, "I'll be gentle"!

We know that you will be happy here with us and we will work so hard to be sure that you have all that you need. You will always have plenty of love. We can't wait to hold you and kiss you and hug you. Barrett will pat you and tell you not to cry when you are sad. He also said he
wants to tell you that we will get you something to drink when you are thirsty.

Daddy has painted your nursery a beautiful shade of blue. He is getting all your furniture together and mommy will soon start decorating. I am going to paint some pictures for your walls. Maybe some monkeys, giraffes and an elephant too.

It won't be long before you are here. Christmas is almost here and then it will be almost time! I go to the doctor next week to see how big you are and how much you weigh. Everyone says what a big boy you are. My tummy is huge! You move around a great deal; especially yesterday.

We have some ultrasound pictures of you, but we can't wait to see your face and hold you in our arms. We already love you so much and can't wait to bring you home to live with us.

We love you,

Mommy, Daddy & Barrett
