A letter for our sweet baby girl

It's August 17th, three days away from your due date. Your daddy and I have been waiting anxiously for your arrival for nine months, but more recently about two weeks. Everyday I wake up and wonder if it's the day you'll finally make your way into this world. I've sat and thought for hours at night what you might look like (I'm guessing like your daddy), who you'll be like (I'm guessing like your daddy) and can't wait to see if that's true. I've spent years waiting for you, to hold you, snuggle you, kiss your little cheeks and feet and here it is, ALMOST time for you to be here.

This last little wait is brutal. Not because I'm miserable, not because you're getting awfully big in there and taking up all the room, but because I'm so in love with you already and I can't wait to be your mommy. Looking back on it now it does seem like this last nine months has gone by quickly, but these last few days will not END! I've come to the conclusion that, like your daddy, you're stubborn already and will be here when YOU decide you're ready. That's ok, but if you could....could you try to be here in the next few days? There are so many people coming that love you, that want to meet you, that we don't get to see very often. So if you could hurry it up just a bit, we would appreciate it.

That being said, please know that whenever you DO come, you are loved, and adored, and treasured more than you will ever understand. We will give you the best possible life that we can, and will do our best to never let you down. If you would just GET here....we'd start trying to prove it :)

We love you darling, hope to see you soon.

-Mommy and Daddy
