dear baby,

i feel like a christmas present everyone wants to unwrap.
waiting is so hard, harder still is being in pain while waiting.
today would be a great day to come out and play!
your sisters are very anxious to hold you, your daddy wants to see if you are, in fact, a boy.
you've got grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins all ready to meet you.
and of course, i want to hold you, nurse you, count your little fingers and toes. marvel at how tiny you are. and come to the shocking realization that my other "babies" are no longer babies, but kids!
today would be good, but whenever you're ready. and i know you won't come a minute before.

singing don't worry about a thing, cos every little thing is gonna be alright!
