Letter to my Baby Boy

Dear Baby Boy,

I have spent the last 39 weeks getting to know you from the inside. I have gotten to know your crazy temperament, your constant hiccups, and your sleep cycle-Really B we need to address and work on this- You are awake at all hours of the night! I feel you squirm, roll, kick, and punch literally ALL day long- I am hoping you will MAYBE be calmer when you’re on the outside!? Here is to hoping. Seeing your face in the 4d ultrasound, I feel like maybe you are going to look like your Big Sister and Daddy, who are all too excited to meet you.

This pregnancy has been a difficult one for me, from increased aches and pains, intense morning sickness, severe food aversions, and being more emotional than I have EVER been,  I think I’ve pretty much seen it all and Baby Boy, I know you are worth it! Your official due date is next Saturday (the 7th), however, you are expected to arrive ANYDAY now. I cannot believe WE are nearing the end of this pregnancy. It seems like I have been pregnant forever, and yet I remember the day I found out I was pregnant with you in perfect detail as if it was yesterday. I am sure you hear me every morning while I pray for you. I pray for your development, for your health and for your life. I pray that the Lord blesses your life and that one day you will be an incredible man of God.

As much as I am excited to meet you, I am SUPER excited to eat meat and sushi again, to be finally done with this heartburn, and maybe have a glass of wine or… two (shh!)

I also can’t wait for you to meet your Daddy and Big Sister. I am sure you know their voices already, you seem to move with excitement every time they get up close to my belly and talk to you.  Your Daddy is so excited to have a little boy to teach him everything he knows about sports, life, law, and business, which pretty much means you will be the smartest, most knowledgeable little boy ever.  If you don’t remember anything – just remember Micheal Jordan is the best player that has ever lived!

Your sister is excited to finally have someone to play with. She will talk your ear off, sing to you constantly, and cart you around like her one of her little dolls – I apologize in advance for the wild experience your sister is. She is an incredible little girl with the purest heart. I know (one day) you guys will be the best of friends.  I hope you know how much we all love you. I hope and pray that we will be able to give you and her the best that life has to offer.

I cannot wait for you to meet your grandparents and uncles, it’s unbelievable how much they ALL love you already.  Even though we are missing your Grandpa and Uncle Joe, you will have a fantastic family that loves you so deeply, and we cannot wait to tell you all about your grandpa and your uncle who are in Heaven.
We are ready for your Baby Boy, even though we haven’t decided on your name yet and I’ll be honest, your room is kind of a disaster right now (stupid Pottery Barn) I promise I will get it done before you officially move in there. Although I will miss feeling connected to you 24/7 – I am so ready to hold you and see your beautiful err… handsome face! I love you so much already!

Love,

Mommy
