An open letter to our sweet baby!

Dear Sweet Baby-

I want you to know how much you're loved.  I truly LOVE feeling you move inside of me and it's a feeling that only the both of us share.  I am overwhelmed with so many beautiful feelings about meeting you, I don't even know where to begin.  I am a bit nervous, I know it might be hard to believe but, I am.  I want to be the best mommy ever and want to make sure I can equally give my love and attention to your siblings too.  The pressure is ON!

For starters, we're not sure if you're a boy or a girl.  We've chosen to keep the tradition of never finding out the gender or picking the names beforehand.    Your daddy says we have to meet you in order to name you.  I agree.  Don't worry, we won't give you a name that will render you the ridicule of the town or hinder you from getting a job!

My heart has flutters just thinking of the moment of when I'll hear your gender announced.  I cannot wait! It will be a surprise for everyone and I feel this is going to make it truly exciting!

The anticipation leading up to finding out has us anticipating, guessing, pondering and wondering with excitement.  If you're a boy will you have DJ's personality? If you're a girl, will you have Danyelle's personality?   

We've asked people to guess your gender and I have to say, people are saying girl, boy and twins.  Thankfully the people that guessed twins and the people (your sister) that prayed for twins will NOT be getting their wish.  At least not with this pregnancy!  Hah!

It's so much fun creating scenarios on who will have the most sleepless nights watching over while you sleep soundly in your bed.  Oh and speaking of your bed.  We've decided to start you off in a bassinet like your brother and sister did.  

We've found it will be easier for easy access to your mommy.  I know there are some people in the world that balk at co-sleeping and all the other things they might consider crazy parenting.  It's a good thing for you that your mommy doesn't really give a rats who-yah what people have to say! 

I find myself dreaming of your sweet face and the ever precious baby smell.  I can't wait to hold you in my arms.  I can't wait to present you to GOD, our family, friends and to the world.  You are such an amazing baby and I can't wait to meet you!

You're scheduled to arrive on Thursday, May 7th (unless you have other plans of course) and we're eagerly anticipating your arrival. 

You're a truly divine blessing that has been given to us directly from GOD and we promise to love, protect and guide you every moment of your life.  

We love you.
