My apologies for the multiple names. You see, you're still too far away to even be a twinkle in my eye, but I'm a female so of course I've named all of you hypothetical angels in my head already. I'm writing this to let you know how much I love you, cherish you, care for you, pray for you and obviously constantly think about you even waay back when your momma was only 27 years old. I hope this will one day find it's way to you in some shape or form. I'm not sure if blogging will still be around when you're old enough to appreciate this, but a gal can hope.
At this point in my <young> life, most of my friends have babies. And that means that I've had a lot of time to watch and practice before you came along. Heck, I'm even babysitting in Paris next month. I can fold up any stroller, know the words to every single nursery rhyme, and can burp em with the best of em. But I know all of that goes out the window the day I bring you home. We'll start a journey that's just me + you and you'll teach me more than I ever knew existed. I know I'm not perfect, but I can promise you right now that I will work my hardest every day to make sure I take care of you. And to make sure you are happy. Your happiness is my happiness. And I will share with you the wisdom and knowledge I've gained through my unique experiences.
Few quick things to note...
- I'm sorry that I'm a horrible mom and won't let you charge your smart phone in your room after bedtime. And I know I suck for not allowing a TV to exist in your bedroom. Ain't gonna happen, dumpling. I never had one and I turned out just fine. Maybe when you're 16 and drive a (flying?) car we can talk about it. By the way, I'm sure I've told you this 100 times, but I didn't get my cell phone until I was SIXTEEN! Can you even imagine?!
- I'm also sorry for all of the Law & Order that I watch. By now I've probably seen every single episode 25 times, yet I keep comin' back for more. Oh geez, is this how my mother felt about Matlock?!
- I hope I have given you an impossibly dorky nickname. I'm pretty good at those.
- One more thing- DUCK LIPS... DON'T DO IT. Whatever the future version of Instagram is when you're digitally active, avoid the duck lips at all costs. It's not cute, sweetie, I don't care what your friends say. And yes, mommy will make fun of you.
Anyway, my future-non-existent-muppet, I love you. Be silly. Be smart. Be safe.
Please remember how special you are. Please know that you always have a home.
With love,
Your-dork-of-a-mother-who-is-probably-embarrassing-you-as-we-speak
PS- Go call your Grandma & Grandpa right now!
