June.

 This could very well be your birth month, Lyric James. You'll be full term in 16 days, the day after my birthday. All though there are still 37 days until your due date, no one thinks you will stay in there for that much longer, and mama is okay with that. 

I sit in your nursery sometimes, and anticipate the day that I can hold you in my arms. The day I can rock you in the rocking chair I so carefully chose with you in mind. I only know little things about you. Like how you like to be awake late at night, just like me. How you get hiccups almost every hour. How chubby your sweet cheeks are, and how you like to smoosh your little nose up against mama. When you arrive on this earth, I'll have more than that. I'll have the opportunity to memorize your every feature, and truly learn you. You're going to make me a mama, sweet boy.. and I can't get over that.

The day I found out about you I told your daddy right away, he jumped up and down.. and yes he made me join him. You have the most amazing daddy in the world, Lyric. I want you to know that. He's goofy sometimes, but you'll probably pick up on that pretty quickly. He keeps us laughing, and he's always lighthearted and knows just what to say. You're going to love him. I can tell he's nervous about being a daddy, but you're going to teach him. I know you guys will do so well together. My boys. He reads to you every night, and I know you can hear him because you kick and squirm the entire time. And when you get here, sweet boy I know you'll feel all the love we have built up for you. I'm so excited that you get this wonderful man as a daddy, because he's one of a kind.                                                                                   

So we're ready when you are, baby boy. We're ready to be your mama and daddy.
