Two weeks and two days until the due date, give or take two weeks of course. So, it really could be any day. I've always had the feeling you're going to be an April Fool's baby. No real reason to that, but that would make you a week late.
I suppose it's time to introduce you to your mother.
Of course, there is the fact that you've been inside her for almost 38 weeks now. You know her in a different way than I do. I'll tell you my vision of her.
Your mother is one of the most fascinating wonderful people I have ever known. I'll admit, I think you're pretty darn lucky to have her as your mother. I know that I'm pretty darn lucky to have her as my wife.
She'll stand up for you, she'll do everything in her power to protect you, she'll strive to make the world a better place for you.
She's incredibly intelligent... compassionate and giving... and I love seeing her smile, looking into her eyes.
She's a beautiful person and a great example of what we can be if we have morals and are not afraid to stand up for what we believe to be right.
I'm already wondering what pieces of her you're going to pick up. Will you have those eyes? Will you get her intelligence? Will you have her smile?
I know already I'll also love looking into your eyes.
I'm not going to tell you life is easy. It's not. Your mother has had a tough run of it at certain points. It's made her stronger... wiser. She'll do anything to make sure those things don't happen to you. Of course, as will I.
She's incredibly forgiving. So keep that in mind the first time you spill something on the couch or set the carpet on fire. She might be mad at first, but she'll get over it pretty quick. She's good like that.
She believes in the best in people. She has surrounded herself with a great crowd in doing that. Her excitement is infectious. It's hard not to get caught up in it.
She's inquisitive. She needs to know how things work and why. It's not enough just to know that they do work... she needs to know more.
She's an optimist. I am too. We both think that the cup is half full, even when that's a hard thing to believe.
She's made me better.
She has her flaws... we all do. But if the average person was more like her, the world you're about to come out into would be a much much better place.
I love her completely, with all my heart. Of course, there is room in that heart for you too... We both have big hearts.
And though she's going to miss it... She's looking forward to having you out in the world. She's looking forward to getting her belly back. We're looking forward to a new adventure with you along for the ride.
I'd say we're pretty lucky, you and I.
