Hurry

Cade,
Precious baby of my only sister-I can't wait to meet you! I am so glad you are almost here. Your mommy and I have been dreaming of you for months. We think about you, we talk about you, we wonder about tiny, incredible perfect little you.
You are such a lucky little boy. You are going to be surrounded by a strong circle of love, starting with your parents. You totally hit the parenting jackpot sweet pea! Your mommy is funny and tender and strong and loyal and fierce. Her love will be your center and your protection. You daddy is patient and funny and kind. His love will teach you how to become a man.
You have cousins who are going to make you giggle and laugh and also annoy you. But I selfishly hope that they are some of your best and most enduring friends. I hope that you will have wonderful memories together of playing. I hope that you guys play together all the time.
You have a Zuzu (that's me, courtesy of Jake) who is desperate for you to get here. I want to see you and meet you and kiss your tiny toes. I want to look at your fingernails and your hair and your tiny little baby ears. I want to see you and start watching the man that you will grow into. I already love you so much.

For your mommy & daddy:
Sons are a heritage from the Lord,
children a reward from him
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.
Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
Psalm 129:3-5
For you:
The Lord is faithful to all his promises
and loving toward all he has made.
Psalm 145:13

We wait for you with eager anticipation. Hurry to join us.
I love you precious little one,
Zuzu
