Dear Little Man,
I know I have made it so nice and cozy where you are. I know if you are anything like me change is not something you are excited about. However your dad and I are so over the moon ready to meet you. Not to mention all of your family and our friends. I will admit as much as I want to hold you I will miss having you in my belly. You have been mine and only mine for the past 40 weeks. I’ve felt every move hick up and good kick in the ass you dealt out. I won’t lie towards the end it wasn’t the best feeling but I won’t trade it for anything. Even without ever laying eyes on you yet I know you are the cutest thing ever. You have to be you have nothing but your dad and I’s good looks. And I do have to say we are a rather good looking duo so you have won the gene pool kid and you don’t even know it. I hope you have his skin tone and rugged adorable looks and my hair. Also I really hope you have his eyes and smarts. You are more loved already than you will ever know. Your grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins are already spoiling you rotten. You have more clothes and toys than you will ever wear or play with.
Now I do have to apologize already to you and tell you I am sorry. I figure you won’t read this until you are older and married yourself so I can let you in on my secret. When I grew up I always thought my parents knew this parenting thing and that they were perfect and that’s just it. Let me let you in on a little secret. Your father and I don’t know a thing. We are learning as we go. I’ll give you a minute to digest that. I will tell you this. We are great fakers. This whole time you have been growing inside me we have faked this pregnancy thing rather well. Most would have said we looked like pros. I tell you another secret. We were both scared shitless the whole time. Scared we or I should say I was scared I would do or eat the wrong thing, or not call the doctor when we were supposed to. Even though you are just days or hours (better be sooner than later) away we feel we did a bang up job getting you this far. Now this is not to say we are not going to make some mistakes along the way. I’m pretty sure there are going to be things and times and words we are going to wish we could take back, but I promise you this. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE NUMBER 1 AND WILL BE LOVED LIKE NO OTHER LITTLE BOY HAS BEEN LOVED.
So if you are going to be anything like me I hope this pep talk helped in making you feel better about coming out. I know I always was ready to tackle the world after my mom gave me one of her talks. So come on out! If your anything like your father, lord help us all you are now just being stubborn and fighting authority. If that’s the case I for see lots of struggles between us and if that IS the case you might as learn now, dad and I will always get our way, the right way one way or another. But you will probably take oh about 20 years to learn this.
Love, Mom
