Dear Cruz Paul

Dear Cruz Paul,

In a few short hours I get to meet you, and I know my life will never be the same. Your sisters, daddy, and I have all been excited to meet you for months. We can’t wait to see who you resemble, both physically and in personality.

This pregnancy has felt both fast and slow. It doesn’t feel like that long ago that your sisters and I were headed back to the States from South Korea, and I was excited to get my hands on a pregnancy test. A few months after we returned home, your daddy come home as well, and we headed out on our move to Arizona. It seems weird to me that you’ll be the only one in this family who isn’t a Northwesterner. I’ll make sure you grow to love the quirkiness of the culture though.

Shortly after our arrival in Arizona we learned that you were a little boy. I’m still not sure it’s really sunk in for your daddy and me. We’ve been living in a world of pink and tulle for the last few years. I was instantly filled with wonder regarding how I should dress you and decorate your room. I hope you enjoy everything we’ve prepared for you. Your sisters are ready to play cars and dinosaurs with you when you’re ready, or not.

I know I need to get some sleep tonight, but I know myself well enough to know that won’t happen  I know my jitters won’t pass until I have you in my arms. I love you more than you’ll ever know, and I can’t wait to start our journey together in our family of five.

Love Always,
Mommy
