Words can’t express how excited I am for what is about to happen to you and Peter! I am positive you’ve done an incredible job of reading the right books, choosing a great name (can’t wait to learn it!), researching and registering for all the right things, and preparing a perfect nursery. But ultimately there truly is no way to prepare your heart for what will happen when that little boy is placed in your arms for the first time! Moments will quickly turn into days and before you know it he’ll be smiling at you, babbling, crawling, talking, walking, and eventually blowing out his first birthday candle! You’ll wonder where the last year of your life went; and you’ll look back at this time -right now- in the weeks leading up to his birth and smile at how absolutely unprepared you were to love a little person SO much!
You and I both know the world of girls having grown up with sisters, but you will quickly fall head over heels for the world of boys. The idea that any toy can be turned into a truck is amazing. Loud, fast, and messy will take on whole new meanings when your little guy hits the toddler years. And your heart will melt a thousand times over when he spontaneously wraps his little arms around your neck and tells you he loves you.
I have loved preparing for my second baby boy along with you while you're preparing for your first. I will love it even more when they are both in our arms and we are exchanging middle-of-the-night text messages and naptime phone calls. I love you, Heath! I can’t wait to see the joy that your son will bring you, and will pray for you and Peter as you take on the task of raising your son to the Glory of God!
