Dear Pearce...

Dear Pearce,
         In just a few days you will be welcomed into the world.  You have so many people who love you and have been praying for your safe arrival and are just so excited to finally meet you.  But, my love, no one is more  excited or anxious for your arrival than me, your mommy.  I have longed to be a mommy for so long and now you are going to make my dream come true.  I try to imagine who you will look like, how big you'll be, what your cry will sound like for the first time, what you'll feel like when I hold you, but I honestly just can't.  You have been a hope and a prayer for such a long time, it's just hard for me to imagine. I am looking forward to just holding you and looking at every precious part of you.  I want to kiss your sweet baby cheeks.  I want to rock you and sing to you.  I'm looking forward to taking you on walks in your stroller and showing you off to everyone I know.  Your daddy and I will try our hardest to be the best parents we can be to you.  I know we will make some mistakes, but one thing that is absolutely for sure is that you will be loved and cherished for the miracle you are.  Mommy and daddy are all ready for you.  If you would like to come before the 25th, that is fine with us!  If you are all snug inside of me, that's o.k. too....I've waited a LONG time for you...I can wait a few more days.  I love you, my sweet baby boy.

Love,
Mommy
