39 weeks

little one,

My goodness…what a journey we have been on.  I cant believe we’re on (what i hope to be) our last week of the pregnancy phase in our relationship.  It’s been an adventure so far thats for sure, and you are already teaching me so much about being a mother and about that sweet sweet word that we all love…”patience”.  Your dad and I were convinced you were coming last weekend.  It was partly a gut feeling and partly wishful thinking.  We are UNBELIEVABLY ready to meet you!

Knowing that you can come literally at any moment from now through next week is so exciting and so nerve racking.  I wish we could know when exactly you are coming but I guess that wouldnt be as fun for you.  Not even here yet and already keeping your parents on their toes…wondering what you will do.  These last 39 weeks have been hard in ways I didnt expect and so incredibly amazing in ways that i could not have known.

It’s so crazy to feel your little knees and hands and buns rollin around in my tummy and I just cant wait to see all of these parts of you.  i cant wait to kiss your little knees and hands and to squeeze those sweet buns (im gonna do it…probably even when you are in your teens…and you are going to love it…because im your mom.  and i said so.)

we love you beyond words, and as much as we love our little family of 2, we are so glad that you are going to be the 3 in this mix.  get here when you can little lady.  we’re ready for you.

XOXO,

M
