Sam,

We have spent the last 37 weeks together, just you and me. It seems like yesterday that you were a figment of my imagination and a prayer on my heart. Your Dad and I prayed for years to have another child and your sister prayed every night for a new sibling. I don’t know if you will ever be able to understand what a miracle you are. You were created for a purpose that I can’t even begin to imagine.

I woke up at 3:30am to having you kick and roll around in my belly. So, for the last 2 hours I have just sat and watched you move. I can’t believe that the time of it just being us is almost over. I don’t know what you look like, but I am already in love. You have yet to take your first breath, yet you have already changed my life.  Your very existence has brought more joy and hope into my life that I didn’t think was possible.

I have such a deep and incredible love for your big sister, Alaina. She lights up every room she walks in. She makes me laugh and see the world through her eyes. Her heart is so humble and genuine. You have a lot to learn from her!  I can’t believe that as much as I love her that God has blessed me to experience this kind of unconditional and amazing love again.

You are coming into a crazy family little one. But, it is one of love. I hope you will always feel the joy that you bring to those who love you and you experience the faith that brought you into existence.

Love you, Sam. Come out soon, you have your whole life ahead of you and a lot of people who love you and who have waited a long time for you.

Love,

Your Mama
