Letters to Griffin

One of my favorite bloggers, Sarah from Fairytales are True, recently had her own baby boy in January.  Some of my favorite posts during her pregnancy were her 'Letters to Tuck,' which she's continued even after he's been born.  It was such a great idea I wanted to get some notes into Griffin while he was still cooking.  :)




Dear Griffin,
Your daddy and I got to see you for the fourth time last week, and we got the exciting news that you are a boy! Daddy had the biggest smile on his face when he heard that news.  Seeing his smile at that moment has to be one of the best moments of my life!  I know his mind was going crazy already imagining taking you to baseball games, playing catch, playing legos, and getting to be 'boys' together.  As your mama, I am excited to imagine lots of cuddle time and reading before bed.  I hope we have as sweet a relationship as some of my friends do with their little boys!

We have lots of big dreams for you, little man, but no dream bigger than wanting you to live a life you are happy with and knowing that you are loved by your family! Family is very important to your daddy and me, and we have included some of our favorite family members during this process. Your Aunt Emily and Uncle Travis have been asked to be your godparents, and they are so excited about this!  Having you baptized has been something your daddy and I feel really strongly about, and your Dad already has lots of plans for that particular day. (You'll find some humor in the things your Dad likes to latch on to when planning!)  Your grandparents are also really excited for your arrival - especially your Papa Phil who is excited about having another PGB in the family!

Right now you are kicking away in my belly, and your Daddy and I are anxious to begin feeling those kicks from the outside of my belly, but all in good time, my sweets! We already love you so much, Griffin!

Love,
Mama
