Dear bean (that’s what mummy and daddy called you when you were in your mummy’s tummy),
Right now you’ve been growing in your mummy’s tummy for six weeks, you’re only 1.2 cm and weigh just 0.5 grams but you already have a heartbeat and you’re already the most important part of mummy and daddy’s life.
You can’t hear me or feel me yet but I like to rub mummy’s tummy with you inside and I like to talk to you. Mummy is very tired right now because she is working very hard growing you and your daddy is doing lots of reading about you so that he can help you and mummy grow.
Today we booked a scan so that we can see you inside mummy in two weeks time. We hope to see that your heart is beating and that you’re safe and snug inside mummy’s womb where you should be for the next 8 months, we can’t wait to see your scan even though you’ll still be very small.
We have told the doctors all about you so hopefully we will get an appointment to see a midwife in a couple of weeks to make sure mummy and daddy are doing all the right things, as this is all very new and scary for us.
I’ve been told you don’t come with an instruction manual, which is good for daddy as he never bothers to read instructions anyway so you can look forward to back to front nappies and upside down baby grows in the future but I’m sure we’ll work it out together.
You just concentrate on growing for now and we will do the rest.
We already love you very much
Love
Daddy (your favourite parent)
