Perfect Timing

Dear Bean,

Today I woke up smiling and have been all day.  Your daddy and I have made some adjustments and put some plans in place and now what seemed like a mountain on Sunday, feels like the most beautiful crystal clear stream.  Everyone is so being supportive and very helpful and more than anything - extremely excited about you! Now I realise that your arrival is perfect timing ….. so this is probably the only time in the next 18 years that you will have known best ;) .

While all that I’ve done today is chat excitedly about you to people that here and on the telephone to people that are not here, I feel like it’s been a very long day.  My body is changing so quickly and I feel very tired even though I haven’t really done very much.  It’s not just the physical stuff that’s changing – my bonds with people have deepened…so much.  I love your daddy with a much deeper and profound love than I ever thought possible!  I feel an overwhelming longing to be with my mum and also to see your daddy’s mum.  My love and respect for your aunties and uncle has exploded and my heart has absolutely melted from the true friendship shown to me by my housemates.  So, I have the most beautiful future, the most friends and family, and your daddy says - the most beautiful b**bs ;) and its all thanks to you…..the most beautiful angel in the world.

Stay strong, and don’t go anywhere.

Lots of Love,

Mum xxxxx
