While I am waiting for you...

My sweet baby boy,

You are still in my belly and I am longing to meet you... It has certainly been a journey, from the day you surprised us on January 1st, finding out I was expecting... That was not exactly what our plans were but your Papa and I were already thrilled at the idea to have another child join our family... 

You have been playing tricks on me for a long time... at 14 weeks, you decided to hide, you scared me because we could not hear your heartbeat... After my first ultrasound we found out that you were a boy. Another surprise... 

I have definitively had ups and downs during this pregnancy with a lot of pains and fatigue (it probably did not help that I had a whole summer with your two brothers at home, full of energy and mischief...) but I have always reminded myself in the hardest moments how blessed I am to be able to carry you without much complication. I would also envision the day when I would hold you for the first time and it always made me feel stronger.


Recently as I was driving to see my midwife late, I was overwhelmed with Love thinking about you and how special you are, not having met you yet but feeling your spirit and your strength already...


Everyone is waiting for your arrival, sweet baby, from your brothers to your Papa, your Babou and Papili who are also here to welcome you. But the one who is even more anxious to meet you is your Maman who loves you so much already.
