Your daddy's voice

I should of written this the day it happened which was on Monday but it's okay, I still remember that special moment. Since it was Monday, daddy had to be at work which left me with Gus by ourselves for a few hours. That morning/day I noticed I did not feel you move as much (which is ok too bec I know you are even if I can't feel it at all times) that day, probably the last time I felt you move was around 3pm when I was sitting down listening to some music and drawing. Finally it was time your daddy came home at 4 so gus and I went to sit in the front living room to wait for him. He arrived and When I opened the door for him and he started talking, you would not stop moving!!! Wow... I felt you move all over the place and I know it's because you were happy to know he was home with us. He kept talking and for a good maybe 10/15 min you just enjoyed and were excited to listen to daddy. That let me know you had missed his voice so much. That afternoon, we watched tv and I felt you moving again. I told your daddy to put his hand on my belly to see if he would feel you and it's as if on purpose, you hit his hand right on the palm (Hard to me ) and I asked him if he had felt it but he said he hadn't. It's okay, I know that in a few more days or short weeks, your dad will be able to feel you and he'll fall in love with you that much more. I know he already loves you so much, he has since day one, I just can't wait Til he feels you as well. 

Hello from daddy with much love

Hello my handsome little son, I say handsome even though I haven't seen you yet because it is very obvious you will be since you're my son haha. These past few months we found you will be taking over our lives have been the greatest surprise and the best feeling we could have ever wanted. We prayed to God that one day you will would come to us. Our hope and faith in God is what I believe helped this happen. Family and friends that prayed for your health. Even before you were born so many people cared and still care for you. It is such a blessing and a miracle. You know, some-days I find myself day dreaming or just wondering off into space (which I tend to do a lot) and its funny because you tend to appear in them, it literally sends a shock into my body as if it were really you I saw. When your mommy told me the big news you were coming to this world, the next day I had a dream, from that day forward I knew you were going to be a boy. I can honestly say it was the first time I heard your voice. Your mommy and I, we will take good care of you. You are our little angel. We love you so much Liam, our son

Liam Gerardo Cruz... It's a boy!

We couldn't help it any longer. We waited and waited to get pregnant and now that you're in my tummy there was no way I wanted to wait til 20 weeks!! So this was the plan. Everyone thought we wouldn't find out what we were having until Saturday the 24 which the next day I would of been 16 weeks. I had talked to the U.S. Tech and she said we could find out at 15 weeks. So on that Tuesday the 20 I was 15 weeks and 2days and off we went to the ultra sound place. As soon as the lady turned on the monitor and I saw you moving in there, the tears came. I couldn't believe how big you looked already and more then anything, in my tummy! It's still so surreal! She let us listen to the heartbeat for a few seconds and then we saw your spine. How crazy is it to see your little bones forming in there. Then it was time she said what you were. Since we got pregnant, I did believe we were having a boy but for some reason perhaps the last two weeks bef finding out I felt it would be a girl. So did Luis. She announced you are a boy!!!!! I got so happy, we knew you'd be a boy, but we were very surprised. After we left it was time to completely surprise the family. We ran to Walgreens to pick up pics of your ultrasound to give to the grandmas and pick up blue and pink balloons. When we arrived to my moms house with a bag and balloons her and dad were confused trying to figure out whose bday it was lol. When they finally opened it and saw the name Liam, mom knew it was a boy! She started crying snd they were both ecstatic. They kept saying we had them by complete surprise since they weren't expecting it till Saturday. Then we went to Luis parents and them too got balloons and a bag. They were happy as well but she kept saying she wanted a girl. I had to text my brother and Melly since we couldn't stop by that night and they too were excited that AJ will have someone to play with. When Luis and me were alone, I did get a bit emotional, I told him, what if I don't have a special bond like I maybe would of with a girl. My mom and me are the best of friends and I've learned that with time. I wanted a little best friend too. Luis assures me you will love me as much as I do which he may be right. I see how much Luis loves his mom and my brother loves my mom. I wi,, do my best, baby to show you nothing but pure love and guide you through this world so that one day you can have the heart like your daddy. Liam, we love you and can't see ourselves without you in our lives already.   Love, mom and dad.
