A letter to our little boy



Dear little boy,

In less than 24 hours I will get to see you, smell you and hold you in my arms. (If all goes according to plan.) I'm nervous about tomorrow but I am so excited at the same time. Not finding out that you were coming to our family until I was almost 9 weeks pregnant and dealing with the shenanigans of this past summer has make this pregnancy FLY by. November always seemed SO far off and now all of a sudden we're here and tomorrow is just around the corner. It's crazy to me.
We're ready though. I'm definitely ready. I'm done being pregnant. Your room is ready, your brothers are ready, your sister has no idea what is about to rock her world, your daddy is excited, and your grandparents are on their way as I type this.
You don't have a name which is a long story in and of itself but hopefully we'll be able to figure it out once we see your sweet face. It's the first time I haven't had a baby named months before arrival. Hopefully you'll give us a clue.
You must be a very special little boy. After being told over and over again that we wouldn't be able to have any more babies you really threw us for a loop. I am thrilled though. And I am sure that Anna will be thrilled too one day. She will now have a little brother to grow up with and get into mischief with. I'm so glad for that. I'm grateful that Heavenly Father saw fit that we needed you. It's overwhelming to think about sometimes but I know that we'll get through this together. You are a sweet blessing and I recognize that wholeheartedly. You are the prize, the reward, the cherry on top of the sundae after this crazy year we've been through. I'm so humbled by the blessings in my life. I'm blessed to be a mom.....I'm so excited to be your mom.

I love you little one.

We'll meet you tomorrow! I can hardly wait!
