You, Me, and a cup of tea

Jack,
You are my constant buddy, wherever I go, whatever I do, you are with me. It's nice having a little companion all of the time. Your Mom may be an introvert, but I do get lonely and I have enjoyed your company so much these past months. I am going to feel pretty lonely when I go back to school after having you. Every morning you and I have some special time together before anyone wakes up. I wonder how long that will last...

As we do things as a family this holiday season, I can't help but think of what it will be like when you get here and, how much joy you will bring to our little family. I think about all of the late nights ahead of us too, just you and me together in the dark. I know those nights and probably days will be extra exhausting and super trying but, I am weirdly looking forward to sharing them with you.

I feel strongly bonded to you already even though you aren't even here yet...
I don't know that I knew that feeling when I was pregnant with your sisters. I didn't know motherhood yet.
Now I do.

It's hard for me to think about loving another human as much as I love your sisters. I truly do not know how that is possible. But, what I have learned as their mother is;  the love that I have for my kids is the strongest emotion that I have ever felt in my life.

Feeling bonded to you before you are even here, is part of that love that I have for you already. Everyone better be prepared for me to turn into a real pile of mush once you get here because, once I actually meet you, and see you, and breath you in...
That love will be the most beautiful of all.

Buddy, it will be an adjustment adding you into this sweet little family circus that we have. It's not going to be easy--I am sure of that. We are all going to have a lot of adjustments to make. But, I promise once we get past the hard parts, like we did with your sisters...
It ends up being a pretty awesome ride!

Things for you to consider before making your grand entrance into this world:

Be patient with us.
Be ready for a lot of noise.
I hope you like toddlers.
And wiener dogs that bark.
But, most of all, I hope you are ready for the love fest that is awaiting your arrival.

We will tentatively be seeing you early in the morning on March 21st.  Take heed of my thoughts, and in the mean time; I will continue to enjoy you, me, and our cups of tea in the morning.

All of my love,
Mom
