Little Blessings

Dear Baby,

While Zachary and I are beyond blessed and thrilled to have you in our lives in just a few months, I have to admit at first, I was nervous. Couples talk about having children and become overjoyed with excitement when the time becomes right, but once that test reads positive, I was scared. Not that I wasn't beyond blessed and excited for you, but scared of being a parent, being a responsible adult with someone relying on them.

As the weeks passed my fear came and went until about a week ago. It was during lunch and I was warming up my chicken noodle soup in the microwave and it suddenly clicked. In a few short months you will be our beautiful child. You will be a living walking real being and not just some sonogram blur.

I became overjoyed.

Walking back to my office, I shut my door for a few moments and thanked God for you. I thanked God for my wonderful husband who I cannot wait to see as a Dad. I prayed for your future, your strength and rest. I prayed for our family, my courage, my patience.

I thank God for you and cannot wait to meet you.

From someone who already loves you,
Mom (first time typing that word)
