Dear Last Year Me

I posted this on my other blog and Matt told me I had to post it here.  So here it is.  It's a letter to last year me in preparation for having a baby.

Dear Last Year Me,

You are just weeks away,
from a life changing event!
You will not go late, like everyone told you,
so you better be prepared!

Labour will not be nearly as bad as people say,
you will actually enjoy it, drug free!
For the first time in your pregnancy you will feel a sense of control.
Don't get me wrong, it's no walk in the park, but you can do!

Our Team

When they hand you your girl, your nine months of hell is over.
You've convinced yourself you're baby is a boy,
so you will not believe them when they say "It's a Girl"!
Nothing in your life, will prepare you for this moment.

It's a Girl!

From this moment forward you will randomly tear,
at commercials,
photos,
and songs of worship.

You will be shocked at the speed your baby grows.
Your life is not over, but nearly beginning.
All of your stresses, worries, and fears will change.
You are a good Mommy and you LOVE every second of it.

You have never acted so silly,
so carefree,
and feel so comfortable in your own skin,
as you do when you're with your Baby Girl.

The Elle being silly right back!

You will sing to her,
talk to her,
and ask her opinion in public places even when she can't talk.
She will be your best friend under the age of twenty-five.

As you round year one,
You cannot imagine your life without her.
The Boss has filled your life in a way you could never have imagined,
and you thank God for her everyday.

Do not be afraid of this adventure ahead of you.
Life will always be scary,
so grab hold and enjoy the ride.
Cling to your Man, these are the best times of your live's!

Love,
Me
