dear baby // week 34

Hey baby,

Its been a hard week out here and, even if you don't know that cognitively, I'm sure you sense it. I'm sorry. But, I hope that this week goes down in our little family's history for the good in it, not the tough stuff. Its been a week that we've been cared for little one, where our community has taken us in and encouraged us with actions and words. People have prayed and fed us and stayed up late with us. You are coming into a rich fold that will love and support you kiddo. That's what this week was about.

That said, your daddy would really appreciate it if you could stay snuggled in there for a while longer. I'm anxious to meet you and hold you in my arms instead of in my belly, but I do still have to side with him right now. Keep growing and listening and learning in there. I'll keep singing to you and we'll stay cozy together and one of these days our house will have running water and floors again, ready just for you. 

There is a special celebration planned for you on Saturday and I fear I'll be a weepy mess over it all. You make your mama more emotional than ever before and I know that is just going to intensify as we grow together. Prepare yourself. Your daddy is prone to showing his emotions too- someday I'll tell you about his break down the day before he proposed- so you're going to be surrounded by it, but I'm sure you'll do more than your fair share of crying and laughing outbursts. Man oh man, I can't wait to hear you do those things.

I love you.

Love, mom
