They Say...

Dear Baby Girl,

A week and a half until your expected arrival.  You are 6.8 pounds and 19.75 inches - the size of a leek, which is a vegetable that is a cousin to onions and garlic.

Baby Girl,


They say girls rebel during their teenage years.  How about you just don't do that, k?

They say we'll have doubts.  Doubts are normal.  What is important is the process of overcoming doubts which will ultimately build confidence.

They say labor will be painful.  Your momma will say it is worth it.

They say we won't sleep for months.  I can't think of someone I'd rather lose sleep over.  

They say you will hold us back.  Baby Girl, you will propel us to the things we really value in life.

They say you will cry a lot.  We will do our best to understand what your fears are, and teach you how to face them.

They say you will be a lot of hard work.  Hard work ALWAYS results in great reward.

They say you'll change our lives.  You already have.

They say we won't have any more adventures.  Baby Girl, understand that YOU are our greatest adventure.

Love,

Your daddy.
