You Will Be Here Before We Know It

Dear ... ah, ah, ah ... I guess I can't divulge your name just yet, little guy. Daddy wants to keep it a secret until your arrival in this world, which is days away.

Well, you know just who I am talking to. That's right. Our second born, our second boy, our special, one and only you. Like I did with your brother, I thought I would offer you a little welcome into our family.

As you have heard from the inside of my belly, you have a very loud, very busy, very smart older brother. Your dad and I know you will learn a lot from him - both the good and the bad. You have also bore the brunt of his rambunctiousness - Yes. That was him kicking you last night as he decided to speed skate across mommy to get to daddy, where he proceeded to to jump on your dad's chest as if it was a bouncy castle ... a bouncy castle? You will know what those are soon enough, and like your brother, not want to come out once you have entered the plastic house of play.

You also have a mommy and daddy who love you immensely and can't wait to see just what you look like, to see just what your personality is like, to hug you and kiss you and help you ease into the world. (We've got the swaddling blankets, rocking chair and bouncy seat all ready.)

You also have lots of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends that can't wait to meet you and love on you. We have been so fortunate to have a village of people help us raise your brother, and things will be no different for you, little one. We are blessed!

So rest assured, my little man, you are coming into this world not alone, but with a strong support network in place. We love you and we can't wait to see you.

That being said, any chance you would like to join us a little early?
