My Precious Baby,
There are many things I've been meaning to write and tell you, but no more procrastinating! That's one thing you'll learn about your mama and your daddy too... We definitely procrastinate on some things. :) Let's get started on some of the things I want to tell you.
Your daddy and I just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. It was such a special treat to get away and go camping for the weekend. As we were camping and spending time with one another, we couldn't resist talking about you and the dreams we have of you. I also realized that we've been trying for you for half of our marriage. The wait for you has not been easy, but we realize that God is working His plan out for our family. You are so worth the wait little one! We want it all to be perfect, and the only way that's possible is to follow God's will for your life. We continue to cling to the promises of His Holy Word, and we pray you will be with us soon several times throughout the day.
I wanted to tell you some things about your great-grandmother, Nanna, as I call her. She was very special to me, and oh honey did she spoil your mama rotten! I spent many nights at Nanna's house as a little girl. I would follow her all throughout her house like a shadow! She never seemed to get aggravated with me, yet she listened to me always and answered all my questions as best she could. One thing that sticks out in my mind is how much she encouraged me as I waited for you. She called me every Mother's Day to make sure I wasn't left out. She never missed a chance to ask if you were growing in my tummy or if we had heard anything from Bethany. She wanted so badly for your daddy and me to hurry up and get up and bring you down to her house. She also wanted her Cilla to be a mommy and she it in action! I will tell you many more stories of your Nanna as you grow up. :)
Your daddy and I have been amazed at how God has provided for us to pay adoption fees. He has used the generosity of others and provided us with extra jobs to work! We know we have no need to worry and stress out about the remaining money needed because we know God already has it worked out! We cannot wait to share with you how amazing God is and what He did for everyone! Without Him, we are truly nothing!
You are loved so much already! You will be showered with an abundance of love when you arrive! Your cousin Carter was playing in your room just this past week, and I said something about you referring to you as his cousin. He replied with, "let's go get my cousin! RIGHT NOW!" I couldn't help but hug and kiss your big cousin. He will be a big part of your life! Your Dodie wish your Daddy and me a happy anniversary yesterday, and she said she hoped next year we would be much busier with our Little Leonard. She can't wait to have you over to her house! She'll teach you all kinds of stuff, and give you almost everything you want. :) Your cousin Makayla has learned to walk and run and can't wait for you to get here to play with her! She has a VERY fun play area to share with you when you are big enough! Her mommy and daddy are your mommy and daddy's best friends. They aren't are family by blood, but we know that blood similarities don't make you family.
I'll leave you with one last thing. Your mama and daddy are nerds. We will most likely pass this on to you, but that's okay. Trust me. Your daddy is amazing at so many things, and he will teach you so as much as he possibly can. I'm leaving for a writing and reading conference with my school tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight because I can't wait to learn how to better educate my kids! Nerds have more funny, or at least I think they do!
I'll fall asleep dreaming of you my little miracle!
I love you!!!
Mama
