These are your last few days as an only child. I know you don't know what that means or how your life is about to change, just take my word for it that it is. Not that it's going to be bad, it's just going to be different. You have been the center of my universe for 2 years and I have enjoyed every second of it. I am soaking up every last minute of you having my undivided attention. If I'm being honest, I'm a little nervous about sharing myself with your little brother. Will both of you get enough attention? Will I be able to keep up with a newborn and a toddler? I'm also nervous about how you will adjust to having a little brother. You are such a mama's girl that I'm afraid you'll be really jealous of him and think you aren't important anymore. I promise to do my best to show you that you are.
As nervous as I am about adjusting to life with our new addition, I am so excited to see what kind of big sister you will be. You are such a sweet, caring little girl. Sometimes you'll lift up my shirt and give brother hugs and kisses. Recently you started patting my belly and saying, "Baby brother... hold you." It makes my heart melt. I watch you play with your dolls - replacing their pacifiers and hugging them when they cry - and I can't wait to see you do the same for your little brother. It'll be a while before you can really play with Liam, but I can already see it in my head, and it's fantastic.
Love,
Mama
