I can think of many tomorrows that I have looked forward to in life. Some of them not very important, others more significant. As a kid, I remember looking forward to the tomorrow of Christmas morning. It was even more exciting when you had to wait for your dad's shift change and for him to get home :) I remember looking forward to the tomorrow of my high school graduation. (Seriously, why did I want to grow up? lol) I remember nervously pondering the tomorrow of moving to college, and quickly after, the uncertainty of the tomorrow of college graduation. I still remember the butterflies thinking about the tomorrow of my first "big girl" job. I remember not sleeping a wink as I anxiously awaited the tomorrow of my wedding day. There were a lot of tomorrows in between all of that, but none will top tomorrow. Tomorrow is your birthday. Tomorrow I will see your face for the first time. (Assuming you don't continue to hide it like you do in practically every ultrasound ha!) Tomorrow I will hold you for the first time. Tomorrow I will watch your dad fall in love with another girl. Tomorrow your friends and family will meet the one we have been talking about for almost 9 months. Tomorrow my heart will know a love that I cannot fathom even tonight. Tomorrow my life will change. Tomorrow could bring a lot more. Tomorrow is full of unknowns, but that's what is so great about tomorrow.
I don't know exactly what to expect. I don't figure I will sleep much between now and then. I don't know what any of your tomorrows hold, but I can make you a few promises.
Emersyn,
You are such a long awaited little blessing. As a little girl, I couldn't help but dream about my future family, and I always hoped a little girl would be a part of it. When I found out I was pregnant with you, I couldn't believe that God would trust me with something so precious. I am excited to meet you, and honestly a little scared to do this whole mom thing. I have pictured what you will look like, who you will act like (probably your dad), what you will love to do, and so much more. I can't wait to make so many memories with you. Here are a few things I need you to know: 1. You are loved. So much. So incredibly much. My heart could burst. 2. You are God's. He gave you to us to raise, but you are His first. Know that, remember that, believe that. He will never leave you or forsake you. 3. You will do incredible things. You will do everything you set your mind to. I will be right beside you every step of the way making sure you live a life without limits and making sure you never stop dreaming big. 4. You are worth it. You are worth every bit of sickness and fatigue I had. You are worth the worry I have about what the world will throw at you. You are worth lost sleep (and I know there is more to come.) 5. You are important. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Your smile is going to light up a room and you are going to change the world. Love people unconditionally and show love even when they won't show it to you. I know that's the type of person you will be.
Tomorrow is your day! And, well, pretty much every day after that too :) You have so many people ready to love on you, sweet girl.
Love, Mom
