In December 2007, your mom and dad were engaged, we found out in January that we were already pregnant with you. Your mom was shocked. Your grandparents were thrilled. I've been watching you grow in your mother's belly for almost 7 months. Sometimes I read to you at night before we go to sleep. Sometimes we listen to your heartbeat with our doppler. We don't have to use the doppler too much anymore, we can feel you moving around. Today I held my ear up to your mother's belly and you kicked me in the head. We've had two chances to see you already, once when you looked just like a bean with arms and legs, and once when you looked like a real baby weighing almost a pound. It was exciting to see your hands and your feet. We fought for a long time about your name - Nina was lola Militante's idea, grandma Lindeman loved it. I thought of your middle name because I liked the sound of it. We did a lot of research about your name - there are a lot of famous musicians named Nina, which we liked. We can't wait to meet you. We love you. I hope you are not early and are born sometime in early September so you have a nice birthstone.
