It Was a Night to Celebrate

To my dearest sweet baby,


New Years Eve, the start of the year you were born, I peed on a stick. Not just any stick, but a stick that would result in shock, excitement, screaming, jumping, anxiety, stress, happiness, and all together a new addition to our little family of Three. Just to be sure though I peed on about 4 other sticks before I convinced myself the result wasn’t going to change. (nor did I want it to)

We celebrated not only the coming of the New Year, but the knowledge that we were now preparing to become a family of four instead of just three. We were playing the Wii, and exercising, and having a good time as a family just bubbly with joy and almost crazy out of our minds in shock. It was a good kind of shock though.

We were all so excited, and happy. Kylyn didn’t entirely know what was going on, but we did our best to explain. Your big sister wasn’t even quite 2 years old yet.

I am so excited for you to be here, for you to come and meet your daddy, and big sister. I’m very excited to meet you as well. Although you are growing inside of my own body, I am still so curious as to who you are! I want to know you, and see you, and touch you, and hold and cuddle you. I have to wait though, and it’s hard, but I know everyday you stay inside me, you grow bigger and stronger, and more equipped to come into this big world.

I Love You,
Mommy
