Dear Baby Cartz

Dear Baby,

These last few months have been a roller coaster - some days amazing, some days terrifying. But I needed to tell you how much you are loved, and how much I have loved every second of being pregnant with you, even when I don't love being pregnant. We don't know what you'll look like or what your personality will be, but we love you already. Daddy and I talk about you all the time, make silly plans, wonder what you'll be like, if you'll play sports, be book smart, love music, or all of the above and we can't wait to explore all that life has to offer with you. We know one thing: you will be loved like crazy and spoiled rotten. Even Uncle Mike came over this weekend and is SO excited about you...this is a big deal for Uncle Mike!

We painted your nursery this weekend. It used to be the office...and now it's the nursery and only the nursery. Daddy put so much work into that room, and I know you will love it. I cried thinking about how I can't believe how close we are to meeting you and starting all the amazing memories we will share in that little room. We are blessed to have you in our lives, little one, and you aren't even here yet. I feel so much anxiety and excitement and hope and love and pride and I haven't even gotten to hold you in my arms yet. I can only imagine the overwhelming emotions I will feel when you make your appearance, and I can.not.wait.

Love you always,

Mommy
