We’ve made it! 36 weeks and FULL TERM!! I am just beside myself excited and proud and happy and relieved that we are here. And you are healthy. And big. And still growing inside of me, like you should be. I am so excited that the end is near – just two more weeks and you will be in my arms. I am so anxious to hear your first cry – something I have waited my whole life for. I cannot wait to see you for the first time after the doctor delivers you – all pink and wrinkly and absolutely perfect. I cannot wait to bury my face in your neck and inhale your wonderful baby smell. I cannot wait to feel those chubby cheeks on my own cheeks. I cannot wait to feel the warmth of your skin against my own. I missed out on so much with your sister, I am going to relish in every single little moment with you.
We had my last ultrasound appointment yesterday. Auntie and Ci Ci and Sissy came with me this time. The ultrasound tech was amazing and we got to see your face for at least 10 minutes. Tears just rolled down my cheeks as I lay there and fell in love for the million-th time with your face. Your lips are just like your sisters.
Your cheeks are full and plump. You have a head full of hair.
And Sissy stood next to me and rubbed my arm and cheek over and over. How BLESSED I am to have the both of you. I will never take for granted how lucky I am – EVER. Oh sweet boy, this whole pregnancy has just been amazing. And healing. And if I could have a million more like this, I would.
I am so sad that I only have two more weeks with you inside of me. Safe and warm and quiet and cozy. I am sad that I will soon have to share you with the world. I am sad that I will never feel your kicks and rolls and stretches again. I am sad that I will never be pregnant again. But all of that sadness will be replaced with joy and the miracle of new life that will begin. And I can’t wait to meet you – face to face – and start our life together. You will complete our family and we cannot wait to share our love with you.
So, until we meet you little brother, know that you are loved by SO MANY and being prayed for by so many.
I love you with my everything before I’ve ever even met you.
Love always and forever,
Mommy
