Although the thought of being a parent hasn't quite totally hit me yet, I can't help thinking of what it will be like to finally have you as part of our lives. I'd like to think that I know a little about parenting (thanks to an amazing family) but the truth is I have NO CLUE! Luckily I have an amazing husband by my side who will be right there with me as we figure it all out together. I'm sure we will both have our fair share of "Oh Crap, are we doing this right?", butI can't wait to embark on this next chapter in our lives.
So Baby, we may not have figured out the key to raising a perfect child, but here a short list of what we do know (I'm speaking for Dad since he's sound asleep at the moment):
1. You will be surrounded by a group of amazing family and friends. Many of these people in your life will love you so much it brings them tears (including me).
2. The combination of your father's family and my family will only mean you will be full of character and a colorful sense of humor. Just wait until Opa's jokes start making sense to you.
3. I'll allow you to get a little dirty and play in the mud and I won't freak out when Thomas gets doggy slobber all over you (even though your grandmothers would have a heart attack).
4. You're life will be full of adventures. Your dad and I love to travel and I already have been thinking of all the places I want to take you.
Okay so that's about the only part of a plan I have so far, but not to worry Dear Baby, just know that all the choices we make for you will be out of the strongest love you can ever imagine. And you will always come first to us.
