To Baby Girl

Hey There Little Unborn Creature,

In just 4 hours, if all goes well, we'll get to see each other face to face. I can feel you squirming and poking around right now and I love you, love knowing you're in there, alive. Soon, you'll be rudely pulled into the cold and bright and unknowable world, but don't be afraid, I'll be right there!

Words can't begin to describe how excited and scared and happy I am. I have always wanted a little girl. I want everything to be perfect, I know it won't be, but I promise I'm going to do my best. I can't even pick out your name because I want to see you first, so I know it's perfect.

I have been so worried about you, these past almost nine months. I've been sick and your brothers crawl on me and a million other things; please be ok.

Your family loves you so much already, we can't wait to meet you. Your big brothers are awesome, you don't know how lucky you are. Crichton is smart and brave and good and strong; Canon is funny and adventurous and dang smart, too. And you're daddy ... wow, he's patient and wise and strong and noble and lots of fun, too; a very silly bunch of guys, all of them. You and I are lucky, lucky girls!

Well, I guess I should stop worrying - things will be as they will be; perfect, come what may. Nothing to do now but wait and hope and pray. Maybe sleep a little.

See you in 3 and a half hours! Love you already,

Mom
