This pregnancy has been so different from your brother and sisters. Partly because it came as a surprise (a very, very wonderful surprise) but also because there was so much going on in our lives, that I didn't get to savour it as much as I would have liked. The news of your arrival hadn't even settled in by the time our world started to crumble around us. We were so wrapped up in survival mode that there wasn't much time to think of anything else. It didn't take long until my tummy got bigger and you started moving. And once you started... you certainly didn't stop! Your little kicks and somersaults calling out to me, "Mommy, Mommy, I'm here!" A tender reminder to appreciate the good. To take pause. To keep faith in God's plan, even when it doesn't make sense or seem fair. Knowing you are coming has been like a little beam of light. You are our miracle. And not just for us, for so many people who will love you as much as we do. They needed a miracle too.
There are so many things I can't wait to tell you, to teach you... but there will be time for that. For now, just know that you are cherished, and you are loved. See you tomorrow, sweet boy.
Love, Mommy
P.S. Grandpa Dallas told Daddy he thinks Grandma Mitzi is having a tough day today knowing that it's her last day to rock you in heaven. That brought tears to my eyes. It breaks my heart to know that you'll never get to meet her here on Earth. But I know she loves you too, and will be watching over you as you grow. She is our angel.

Beautifully written and very true. Your little miracle has given us all something to look forward to and we are so glad he's finally here.
Your words are so perfectly written my friend. Brought tears to my eyes (which isn't hard) but still very sweet and tender. You are an amazing mother :)
