Already, I can tell that this child is not only adorable and smart, but gifted and destined to greatness, as well. Isn't it amazing how a "picture," no matter how blurred, can elicit feelings of tenderness and devotion?
As I gaze at you, little one, I am overwhelmed with the wonder of it all. I can't wait to hold you in my arms, to whisper nonsense in your ear, to sing to you and tell you stories of how life was when I was a child. Stories that will, no doubt, either mesmerize you or put you to sleep.
You mommy told me that she can feel you flutter sometimes. Her eyes shine brightly when she speaks of you, dear one. And your daddy is a little baffled and confused right now, I think. He's excited about you, and he's trying to figure out who he is now, and who he is going to be for you.
Five months to go! Just imagine how overwhelmed and excited we will all be when we get to see you face to face. In the meantime, I'll look forward to seeing your next "picture"!
