Only a few more weeks now and I will know you. I will hold you in my arms and kiss your cheeks and you will wrap your tiny fingers around mine as you stare up to me - surely recognizing the voice you have come to know as mine. In only a few weeks.
There are so many things I still have left to do in preparation for your arrival. I haven't installed the car seat, you only have two hairbows (shameful, I know!), and I know the one package of diapers in your closet will only get us through about the first week of your lovely life with us.
Yes, there are those things to do, but I have been ready for you, really, for years now. I have known that my life is empty without you since the winter of 2008. That was a rough year and someday perhaps I will tell you about those things. But, since then, I've known that there was a void in my heart that ached for your presence. I can not begin to tell you how much I love you already.
Only a few weeks now and I am so looking forward to it!
