all day long!

hi sweetnesses. i've been thinking of you ALL day long. this morning i went to your cousin carter's birthday party. your uncle dan and aunt sarah had a very nice party for carter's 2 year birthday today and it was a lot of fun. all the children running around and playing together made me wish you were here already. i know you would have had so much fun! there were plenty of toys to play with, little friends, yummy food and guess what else? CAKE! birthday cake! if you are anything like your mommy and daddy, you're going to love cake and other yummy sweets. 

i hope you understand we're not going to let you eat junk food all the time, thats just not going to happen. sorry. i know you'll probably have a strong objection to this, but you'll thank me when you're older. wow, although you're not even conceived yet (except in my heart) i'm already saying things that your grandmother said to me. thats not a bad thing though - your grandparents are pretty amazing. they are very different from one another, but their awesome. each in their own way!

anyway, back to carter's birthday party and how i thought of you all day! it was fun playing with your cousin carter today and getting ideas at what we can do for you when you turn 2! wow, 2 years old! i wonder what kind of birthday party you would enjoy. its so exciting, speculating and dreaming of what kind of things you will like. your daddy and i got carter a big truck for him to play with and he really liked it! and while everyone was eating their cake and ice cream (which is another treat you're going to love. its probably one of daddy's favorite things) i was able to visit with some of aunt sarah's family and held carter's cousin, eliana. she's itty bitty and has dimples that are super cute. i hope you have dimples like your grandma johnson! but even if you don't, you'll still be the cutest of cute children in the world. you will ALWAYS hold THE special place in my heart that God put there specifically for you. 

after i got kisses from the carter-man, your daddy and i came home and relaxed a bit. we took monster truck (thats our doggy! can't wait for you to meet her, she'll give you lots of kisses!) for a walk on the beach which was nice. when we came back, i relaxed on the couch and watched cooking shows. hopefully one day you'll watch cooking shows with me and we can get in the kitchen and cook some cookies for your daddy!! after a while, i got a little bored and started to crave sushi. i'll explain sushi to you another day (but if you like it, you get that from me! daddy HATES it and can't have it because it makes him sick!). so we went to the whole foods market and looked around. we stopped by the baby section, checked out some diapers. but i don't think we're going to be getting diapers from the regular stores. your mama joni showed me something that will be awesome. 

speaking of your mama joni. let me introduce you to her now. she's a very special friend to mommy and daddy. she's been there for us in some really difficult times and she has been an inspiration and good friend! you will love her and she already loves you!!! she has 3 little girls - natalie, emma and hailey joy. her husband vince is a very nice man who is the perfect man for joni! God gave her a good husband!! one day i'll explain everything with joni - but for now, the most important thing for you to know is that she prays for you like mommy prays for you. she loves you even though you're not here yet as well. how special it is to know how loved you are! mama joni is a remarkable lady, she wrote a book and i plan to read it to you EVERY night! its all about our hailey joy and eating green beans. i hope you like green beans! they taste yummy. 

well, i guess i should stop here. but i hope you can see how you've been on my mind and heart all day. i cannot wait to share all sorts of experiences with you - like birthday parties, eating birthday cake and ice cream, reading books, eating green beans. 

oh yeah, real quick. you have a kitty cat too! i call her poocatty. her real name is mistress ching, but she gets called a bunch of different names. it will be fun for you to meet her too. she's very cute! 

well, i love you my darlings. i love writing to you, i love dreaming and plotting amazing and exciting things to do with you (even when they are little things, they will be awesome because we will be together). i love thinking about you being born and knowing that you've been made with love by God and are a gift specifically for your daddy and me. i love you and i can't wait to meet you. i'll write again soon. 

love, 
mommy.

Oh, little ones! It's MaMa Joni. I was just thinking about you this morning. I just put some blueberry muffins in the oven. Natalie, Emma, and Hailey are still sleeping. It just felt like such a Mom thing to be doing and that's why I thought of you. Well, that's why I thought of your Mommy, which made me think of you. =) I can't wait until your Mommy can make you muffins! I can't wait until your Mommy can do all of the Mommy things she's been waiting to do! I know how desperately she wants you. We all want you!

Well sweet ones, I know this is very short but I can't go burning the muffins! You know, if I were you, I would hurry up and get here. Your Mommy has offered you CAKE! If for no other reason, arrive soon, because the cake is totally worth coming for!! We love you more than Pigeons love popcorn (that's WHOLE lot!) and we can't wait to meet you. Hugs and kisses!
