It's almost time for you to make your arrival. As we scurry about, trying to get things ready for you, I can't help but just take some time and marvel at how much you've already grown since we first saw you. You're not scheduled to arrive for another month, yet, but I can't help the longing I have just to hold you in my arms. You're my treasure. A gift from God. I can't imagine what life would be like without the anticipation of your arrival. It feels like you're an old friend that I miss, but it feels like you're so much more. You're my baby. My precious jewel. There will never be anybody quite like you, yet I hope you will be so much like us.
It's incredible to feel the love that has grown as you have grown. Each day I become more and more close to you, and the funny part is that I don't even know what you look like yet! You've certainly made your presence known. When you arrive, don't be afraid. The world is big, but you've got a big family who loves you and a big God who loves you, too. I wish I could tell you how much I love you and wish the best for you. Maybe I'm just as scared as you will be. Neither of us know what we're doing, but experience is the best teacher. Whatever happens, you are my baby and I am your mom. Nothing can take that away from us. I love you forever.
Love,
Mommy
