Dear Sweet Boy,

I have loved you from the moment I found out I was pregnant.  I’d been dreaming of you and wishing for you and when I found out you were coming, life changed forever.

I am overjoyed that you came into this world almost three weeks early because that means I have you in my life for those extra days.  Time I will always cherish.

You have turned our world upside down, our nights into days, and have taught us patience and a love so deep it’s scary. You have installed a sense of awe in both me and your father.  How in the world did we make a such a perfect little being?!

I am so very happy and proud to be your mommy.  I promise that I will do my very best to make sure that you are healthy and happy all of your days.  I vow to do everything in my power to make sure you are a gentleman, and that you’re respectful of others.  I pledge to help you become your best self and to make sure you are capable of becoming the man you’d like to be.

Your daddy is a great man, and we are very lucky to have him.  I hope that you inherit his charm, wit and laid back cool.  Look up to him, he is someone to emulate.  He will serve as a terrific role model and will be your very best bud.

You are so loved.

Love,

Mom
