FULL TERM!!!

Baby girl, 

   You're finally considered full-term (37 weeks) and that means that whenever you're ready, you can come and we can take you home!!!! I'm so anxious to see you, meet you and hold you and get tons of snuggle time in. I know everyone else can't wait to meet you and do the same. It's been amazing bonding with you as you flip and kick me all the time, but now your mama is ready to look at you face to face and truly meet you! 
   It's crazy to think that your daddy and I only dreamed of the moment we would be meeting you just months ago, and over a year ago, we were anxious to be able to have another child, and yet God is answering both prayers! It's been a blessing to be your mom so far, and I look forward to watching you grow after your arrival. 
   I've officially set up all of your things in the house: car seat & stroller, crib, bassinet/changing area. Now it's time to pack the hospital bag so we're ready for labor and delivery. Your daddy keeps saying "I'm ready to catch this baby!" so get ready my sweet girl, because daddy plans to hold you in his hands as soon as you enter the world. Knowing that in less than 3 weeks we will get to see you, it's blowing my mind. I'm filled with so many emotions of joy, happiness, peace, anxiety, and so much more. I just want life with you to begin immediately. 
   Your big sister, Leeana, has already gotten things ready your room. She's moved onto her big girl bed, and she reminds daddy and I that "baby goes in crib" so that we know where you'll be sleeping. We're preparing her that you'll be here soon, and she's quite ready to help out being the big sister! I think you're truly going to be spoiled by your big sister, but don't worry, we will keep an eye on her so she won't over-spoil you with TOO many toys at once. Hehe. 
   I love you, my sweet little girl! See you soon! In the meantime, keep growing and kicking. 

Love,
Mama

PS - Thanks for all the constant kicks as I wrote this to you! I think you may be aware that I'm always thinking of you! :)
