We Will Soon Be Parents!
I've been in a pretty pensive mood these last couple of days. (Lorne may have another word for it!) I just keep thinking how everything will change for us. I know that I've written about this topic before, but it keeps entering my thoughts. Part of me wonders if it would be easier if we'd started a family a lot sooner because I wouldn't know what it's like to have so much free time.
Either way I am very excited to be a mom and to know that he will be our son for the rest of our lives. He is our creation and there will never be another like him. He will be our responsibility first and foremost. He will come to us when his tummy aches and with his millions of questions and if he falls off his bike. That may happen a lot since he's our son now that I mention it. Lorne and I have both had bad luck in the bike-riding department. :) He will look to us for guidance and protection and to scare off the monsters under his bed. He will get sick, maybe break a bone or two, make and lose friends, play sports (or not), play a musical instrument (or not), and maybe have his heart broken once or twice. Most of all he will bring a joy to our lives that we have yet to experience. How does one prepare themselves for that? I'll get back to ya on that one.
I keep thinking weird thoughts like "by the time the milk has expired we will be parents" or "I will be in labor when the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith is released." It's amazing that this time is already coming to an end. Once this pregnancy is over I want to make a list of all of the horrible things that did NOT happen to me, but I don't want to jinx myself in the meantime. I know all the books have to give you a worst-case scenario, but some of them are really over the top. In addition to that I've decided that people save up their most frightening stories to share with pregnant women everywhere. I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy. I could have done without so much weight gain, but I've lost it before and I'll lose it again. In the end of it all I will be a parent, and that is one of God's greatest gifts.

The title of my comment is "We will soon be grandparents!" Yea!!!
Kelly, there is no doubt in my mind that you will instinctively know what to do. It's in your genes, after all!! You are my amazing, awesome daughter....kind, nurturing, capable and intelligent. Your heart has always governed your head and hands. Trust in the BVM, our ultimate mother, to guide your heart, head and hands to love and care for your family. She will not let you down. You will be an awesome mom! Those protective feelings you've always had and used with all of your family and friends will kick into overdrive the very first time you see your son. It will be a bond like no other. The love for your child will be with you always, even when he's 6'2 and stoops down to kiss you on the top of your head just as you did to him when he first became your son.
I love you very much,
Mom
Aunt Kelly,
