dear little bird...

we're halfway there little one, and you've been so good to your mom so far. keep it up! we get crazy giddy thinking of the day we'll meet. mom will inspect your entire sweet little being and oohh and ahhh of how you grew inside the womb. dad will hold you so closely and have a tough time letting go. and let's not even get started on the love you'll be showered with from your grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins & dear friends. and your new best friend, bella.

a few things about your crazy family....
*no one else will love you the same way. ever.
*our wish is that you grow to be strong, bright, independent, mindful, & creative. would including genius be greedy?!
*we will take a gazillion pictures of you. and then a gazillion more. you'll either be a good sport or have a lot of baby pictures looking pissed off. you choose.
*we have high expectations. we'll work to keep them attainable.
*be kind to bella. she will teach you how to love and be your greatest partner in mischief.
*we'll do our best to lead you on the right path for you, but we won't always get it right. be patient.
*we will always be your biggest fans. unless you're doing something stupid, then we'll be your worst nightmare. again, you choose.
*aside from the love we have for each other, you are our greatest love... even if you're only 13 tiny ounces right now.

grow strong, little lady. we are patiently waiting with giant, brimming hearts.

you are the best thing.
mom & dad
