Less than 24 hours

Dear Kaleb,
I can't believe we're here.  Less than 24 hours til your dad and I finally get to meet you.  My heart is overflowing with joy and thankfulness and my eyes are filled with tears. The last 3 (almost 4) years have been an incredible journey and the last 9 months are ones I will never ever forget.  Every time you moved, every time I heard your heartbeat or saw you on the ultrasound monitor, I continually praised God for you and was reminded of his faithfulness.  I know it's selfish of me, but I'm almost not ready for you to come out of mommy's belly yet. The bond that we have formed is incredible and one that I know not everyone (who wants to) gets to experience.

I have so many questions about you I can't wait to have answered. Do you have your daddy's chubby cheeks and dark black hair? Do you have mommy's ability to fall asleep within seconds in just about anywhere?  What kind of things are you going to like? The list goes on and on. One thing's for sure - we promised God when we asked for you that we would raise you to love Him and be his servant, and we'll do everything possible to keep that promise to God.

Kaleb, you're our miracle baby, as daddy calls you. We won't always agree on things and times may get hard, but my love for you will never change.  I'll always be grateful for you and know you are a true gift from God.  I probably won't get much sleep tonight thinking about meeting you, so give your mommy a break tomorrow ;)

I love you to infinity and beyond,

Mommy
