Today's the day!

Dear Mary Madalyn Kathleen,

First, you're probably going to hate your name...I mean, really, 3 names?  What parent does that to a child? Sorry kid - we do.  Your brother is stuck with 3 names too.  Hey, at least you have a super cute nickname.

We just can't believe that the day we'll finally meet you is here!  We are so excited!  Your big brother is excited too - but I don't think he fully understands how his world is about to change.  He's a pretty cool kid and he's going to be a great big brother!  Sure, you'll fight and pester each other and you'll drive your mommy and daddy crazy...in fact, your brother is driving your dad crazy right now - see, I'm writing this the night before your birthday and scheduling it to post on your actual birthday - and right now your daddy is giving your brother a shower.  And boy is he acting crazy!  He's being silly and carrying on like a madman!  And you know what, we wouldn't have it any other way...you know why?   Because along with all the craziness comes lots of hugs and kisses and snuggles and love.  We love you so much already and we are saying extra prayers that your birthday goes well and that you arrive happy and healthy.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Here's what mommy looked like the night before you were born!

How precious is that last picture? Sweet boy! He will be a fantastic big brother and will always look out for his little sister! :)
