The Countdown Begins

Dearest Child,

Words can not describe they way I felt yesterday when your Father walked into our bedroom with that little test with a smile on his face. I knew in my heart you were growing rapidly inside me and I did not need that test to tell me you were there. My eyes filled with tears and my heart overflowed with joy.

I looked at cribs for you today. I may have even found the wonderful woman that will help deliver you into this world.

You are only the size of a poppy seed; I am very excited to watch the outside effects of your growth inside. I can't wait to buy you the things you will need. From your little tiny socks that I will loose and then you will always be caught in miss-match like me to your bassinet where you will spend the first couple months of your life once you arrive in our arms.

I ate lunch with your Uncle Porter today because it is his 11th birthday and I realized in 10 years you will be as big as he is doing the things he does. As Porter and I started eating lunch I watched as one of the other kids pulled the fire alarm. Please don't be like that.

You have already brought me such joy and I know more joy is yet to come as we start this countdown until your arrival.

Love,
Mommy
