You are coming tomorrow....

And, my little one, Mommy is scared. Mommy is excited to meet you, to hold you, to snuggle with you. But there is a small chance that your lungs might not be fully developed. There is a small chance that you will be whisked away to be monitored and that we will not be able to hold you right away. But a lot of people are praying that this will not be the case. We are praying that you will be healthy, and strong when you arrive tomorrow. We are praying to hear that beautiful healthy cry when you make your appearance. We are praying that you will be as strong OUTSIDE Mommy as you are INSIDE Mommy. We are praying that Jesus Himself will hold your hand as you come into this world, and that He will breathe life right into your body and you will take lungfulls of oxygen in, because you are healthy.

I cannot wait to meet you, precious one. I cannot wait to see how perfect those little fingers and toes are! I can't wait to see how much you weigh (today the sonogram predicted 6 lbs 5 oz), how long you are, and what color your hair and eyes are! That's perhaps what I am most excited about....what you will look like. Will you look like me? Will you look like Daddy? Or will you come out as your own little mix, just like your big brother did? One thing is certain : we are ready to meet you. We are ready to snuggle you and care for you. Our home is full of love, ready for your arrival. We can't wait, little one, and the time has never been nearer.

Until tomorrow, sweet girl....
