Dear Little One

Dear Little One,

Four years ago today, your Mommy & Daddy began a special journey together.  We didn't know where it would lead, but our relationship became stronger and we fell more and more in love with each other.  We decided that we wanted to spend our lives together.   We stood before God, our family, & friends and promised to love each other forever.  We engraved our rings to say "forever and a day" because we always felt forever wasn't long enough for us.  Not too long after our wedding, we decided that we wanted to become your parents.

Now, we are only about 100 days away from finally meeting you.  It seems like just yesterday I was in Maine, jumping for joy finding out I was going to be your mommy.  Here we are several months later and our love for you has grown so much; more and more everyday, just like our love for each other.  Each day we talk about you, make plans for you, imagine what you'll be like.  I'm lucky enough to get to feel you moving and growing and becoming more and more yourself inside of me everyday.  Daddy loves to feel your kicks and punches through my belly.  Even though at times it seems so far away, I know you will be here with us in the outside world before we know it.

I want you to know that when my days are long & I feel tired, stressed, and worn out, that you are my happy thought.  I imagine the moment in the hospital when they put you in my arms for the first time & sometimes it makes me so happy to think about, I begin to cry.  I feel like my whole life has been and will be leading up to that moment.  You are already the most important thing in our life.

We will love you forever baby boy, forever and a day.

Love,

Mommy
