I can’t wait to meet you.<\/p>\n

\"June<\/a><\/p>\n

Some days when you poke your heel out so far I can almost feel half of your foot in my hand, I feel as though mere skin keeps us from seeing each other. \u00a0I hold my hand against you, rub your back, and cringe a little as your\u00a0heel runs hard down the side of my abdomen. \u00a0If I don’t miss my guess, you have big feet like your sister.<\/p>\n

\"June<\/a><\/p>\n

The boys laugh as they watch you dance. \u00a0The flutters that used to make them smile are now gigantic squirms that make them squeal ewwww in shock. \u00a0They can’t wait to hold you. \u00a0This time they remember Zara and the unbelievable sweetness of snuggling a newborn and \u00a0I wonder if I’ll even get a turn.<\/p>\n

\"June<\/a><\/p>\n

I love having you inside me. \u00a0Always right there. \u00a0Safe. \u00a0Comfortable. Close.<\/p>\n

\"June<\/a><\/p>\n

But I can hardly wait to hold you in my arms where I can feel your soft skin, touch your cheek, and stare at your eyelashes. \u00a0I can’t wait to smell you. \u00a0To just sit and drink in the miracle that is you.<\/p>\n

\"June<\/a><\/p>\n

Some days that moment seems so close.<\/p>\n

\"June<\/a><\/p>\n

Other days I think about what lies ahead for you and I and it feels as though an ocean separates us. \u00a0I feel twinges of apprehension. \u00a0I wonder what it’s like for you. \u00a0This passage from inside to outside. \u00a0I wonder if you know that change is ahead. \u00a0Be safe, little one.<\/p>\n

\"June<\/a><\/p>\n

And know that you are already so very, very loved.<\/p>\n
