Evelyn, you will be here soon. I cannot put into words how much I can’t wait to hold you in my arms, kiss your cheeks, and never let you go for the rest of my life. As I sit here and cross the days off my calendar, impatiently waiting your arrival, I wanted to share something with you.
I know that at this point in time you wouldn’t really understand any of this, but someday, on down the road you can read these posts. You can see the journey your mom and I went through once we found out you were on the way, and hopefully will be able to see the impact you have made on our live. All for the better of course – You are our little miracle.
So, back to what I wanted to share with you. This lady right here is your mother.
This beautiful, smart, fun, and loving woman is your momma. As people say, “your first friend and best friend for the rest of your life.” This lady…I call your mother lady because she is m’lady and we don’t live in medieval times, so, I have to modernize it. Alright now that we have that ironed out. This lady is the best! In our now almost 12 years of marriage, she has never ceased to amaze me with the compassion and caring that she can show to others. She makes an absolute MEAN cake. You’ll find that out as soon you can eat some. And, you will never have to wonder if she will be there for you. The answer is a resounding yes. Even times that you may think, “I got this, let me do it!” She’s going to be right there just in case you need her.
It should bring you comfort knowing she is your mom. It is no exaggeration when I say she is the most caring and loving woman I have ever known. She always ensures others are taken care of before herself and YOU are at the top of that list now. With her, you will always have someone to look after you, pick you up when you fall, encourage you to try, and support you throughout your life.
Your mother is incredibly strong, both physically and emotionally. She is stubborn at times, but that makes her persistent. You will always be able to count on momma.
Evelyn, your mother and I have been each others’ support system throughout the 8 long years of trying to conceive you. I have held her in my arms and wiped away her tears when it “just wasn’t the right time,” for you to grace our lives. I have seen her take what most people would experience, get discouraged and call it quits – but not your momma!! She is a fighter.
I can guarantee you that at any minute, of any day, you say the words and your mother will be there for you ready to give you whatever you need. Sometimes you won’t even have to ask, she just knows, and will be there. As much as I cannot wait to get to hold you in my arms, I am even more excited and anxious for HER to get to hold you. All the work and determination she has put into bringing you into this world, will only be magnified upon your first breath. As much as I will want to hold you immediately upon your entrance into this world, momma comes first. She will get that first contact, the first embrace, and you and her will get to hold each other uninterrupted right after you are born. As much as I am going to be counting down that time so I can get to hold you, I also wouldn’t have it any other way. You and her, even now, as you finish “baking” in her tummy have a special connection.
I know we will both be a hysterical mess when you make your entrance. When we hear those first tiny cries and when we get to look into your beautiful little eyes. I will be a complete disaster, getting to see you handed to your mother, knowing that you couldn’t be in any better place.
This is your mother and she can’t wait to meet you!
