Dear Jonah,
I have been trying to write this letter to you for some time and can never find a starting point, so I guess I will jump in. Your father and I are anxiously expecting your arrival in 2 short months. It seems so close now. When we found out we were pregnant we had a long road ahead and how the time has flown by. Not a moment has passed by where I haven't thought about you or obsessed over you. The love that is waiting for you when you arrive is SO big and you won't understand just how big that love is until you have kids of your own.
I had no idea what exactly I was in store for when we decided to have children. This last 7 months have been so amazing and you aren't even here yet. Feeling you grow inside me has been a miraculous experience. We have had the opportunity to take a peek inside a couple times and every time we do, it makes me smile. With every kick to my ribs and jab in my stomach my soul lights up. You are a very busy little guy in there.
Now it hasn't been all rainbows and sunshine. There have been days where you have worn me out and I was so nauseated I couldn't move, but I want you to know I wouldn't change a minute of it. I can't wait to see your sweet face for the first time and hold you in my arms.
You most likely won't appreciate this letter until your much older. Boys don't like mushy stuff and I am okay with that. I promise to do the best job I can raising you. I won't always be perfect. In fact, I am sure I will make plenty of mistakes, but I will always love you and have your best interests at heart.
I know your father can't wait to teach you things like how to catch a ball, how to change the oil in the car and fix things around the house. I can't wait to teach you things like how to tell jokes, respect others and how to say your prayers at night. While it might not always be fun and games, I hope that you can learn a lot from your father and I and we can't wait to see the man that you become.
I love you son. You are the best thing I have ever done.
With love,
Your Mom aka Mommy

You always know how to bring tears to my eyes. That was a wonderful letter to Jonah. You will be a fabulous Mom and don't you ever doubt it. You have a huge capacity to love Pooh, and I know Jonah and Drew will always feel it.
Love you.
Krystal I am tearing up and work. Your Aunt Debi is right you always know how to bring us to tears with your words. You touched my soul with several comments. I hope you put a copy of this letter in the book I gave you for Christmas. Jonah will teach you things as well. Such as the fact that you will think your heart cant possibly swell anymore. And then it does. You have made me proud your entire life. Times I thought you couldnt amaze me more and then you did. You will be an amazing parent. But alas as you say none of us our perfect. But our love for one another is.
God bless you kiddo. Keep a tight hold of my beloved grandson till he is ready to meet this world.
Love you Bunches
Momm
