Just days until the due date, no baby yet. The midwife thinks she'll be close to 8lbs. It's funny because everyone thinks she's small because of how I'm carrying, but she's got some pretty big moves! Another check in tomorrow, hopefully we're getting close. But she can wait until Friday, it's the 13th of course, and a 3 day weekend so daddy can hang out a little longer :) (he's taking his time after mine runs out)
Scarlett's arrival is very much anticipated. I can not put into words how happy and excited I am for both of you. Parenthood is an honor no one deserves more. Your world will change for the better as your lives revolve around this tiny (even if she is 8 lbs) bundle of love, joy, happiness, smiles, tears, and doubts (am I doing this right, or should it be that way). You will experience a love as you've never known it can be, the greatest thrill of your young lives. Through all the struggle, all the pain and disappointment, your little darling is just about ready to make her debut. The first time you look into her beautiful face you will know, every tear, every heartbreak was worth that moment. You will forget all of that once you look at her and say to yourselves, I'm a mommy and daddy.
ReplyDeleteYou never gave up your dream, you just pushed forward as you always did. I am so proud of you, so full of love that my beautiful little girl is about to have her own little girl to fill her home and heart with so much love, words cannot explain my true feelings. I have watched you go through so much, and together you overcame all obstacles. I love you both and I can't wait to be with you and little Scarlett.
However, I agree Friday is a better day for a long week-end (tell her that)! Also, you were pretty young but if you remember, i was HUGE when we were waiting for Dave to finally be born and he was anticipated to be 10 lbs! Told them I didn't have 10 lb babies and he was kind enough to be just short of 8 lbs.
You will be a great mom and Royce will be a great dad, the best parents any baby could ask for. I have no doubts whatsoever. Love you forever.
