dear baby girl, first let me apologize for the impersonal way that i’ll be addressing you, it’s just that your name hasn’t been announced yet. it’s not that your mommy and daddy haven’t agreed upon one, it’s just that until you burst into this world, it’s only theirs to know. like a little love note that is for their eyes only, at least for now. let me introduce myself, my name is jen and i took some of your very first pictures the other day. you did great. it has to be said, that your mommy has given you a very beautiful space to live in and grow right now. her belly, ahem..your home, photographs amazingly from every angle. let me show you what i mean..

see? now, check out your pad from the front..i told you, nice.

oh, that hand? that's your daddy. you're really going to like him. he's very handsome and just plain cool. i hope you get his hair. he has great hair.

yes, that is your gorgeous mommy. she loves yoga. it's like exercise and meditation wrapped into one. if you look in the background, you can see those people showing you how it's done.

oh, i'm sorry baby. that was insensitive of me. i know your eyes are not that strong yet, let me show you some yoga that is a little closer. this position is called tree.

they do that often, that kissing thing. i'm sure your face will be very familiar with that feeling. sometimes when he kisses her, it makes mommy laugh.

another thing you should know about your mommy, she can work it out in front of the camera


beautiful


you're lucky, you are going to grow up in a house that is full of love

i almost forgot, that's your dog shiva. there's a good chance she'll lick your face and steal your food but it's a small price to pay for a built in pal. i hope she only chews up your least favorite toys.


with parents that look like this, you are destined to be a stunner. and those eyes..oh, i hope you get your mommy's eyes.

yeah, baby girl. i think you're going to like it here.

so do some good growin' and we'll see you soon.
