Mommy loves you so very much and I have had the pleasure of carrying your sweet little lives inside of me for these last 36 weeks. Mommy has been through so much to make sure you two are well taken care of. And guess what? Mommy would do it again for you. You know why? Because I love you two more that you will ever know. You are my heart, my soul, my world! Forever and ever.
I am looking forward to meeting the two of you in the next couple of weeks. I hope sooner but that will be all up to you and God. That's right, God has a lot to do with you being in my belly and why you remain in my belly. I'll teach you all about Him when you are old enough to understand. You will grow to love this man more than you know. At least, I hope. You girls are going to meet so many people who love you so much. I guess I'll share you but only for a short amount of time. I already feel overprotective and you aren't even here yet. It's insane how much I worry about you. You'll see soon enough. I promise, it will get to a point where you won't want to anymore. Ha! Just know, I will be that way because I care so deeply for the two of you. And I love you two so very much.
Your Daddy is something else. Wait until you meet him. He is a character and I will bet you a lot of money that he will get on your nerves from tickling you so much. Don't even ask him to stop because he won't. He is a child locked in a man's body. But let me let you in on a little secret. Your Daddy is so in love with you and he is such a wonderful Daddy to your sisters. He is going to be so good to you. I'll have to fight him to be able to hold you girls. At least we both get one to hold. We'll just have to switch so we can both get quality time with the both of you. That is very important to the both of us.
Speaking of your sisters. You have two very excited seven year old sisters awaiting your arrival. And guess what??? They are twins too!!! You guys will have a lot in common. They can't wait to dress you, feed you and to love on you. They wanted to change your diapers too but I think they are starting to back away from that since I have been telling them horror stories about diaper disasters. Maybe I should of left that one out. You will love them. They already love you so much.
Ah yes, your Grandma's and Grandpa's. Let me start with your Grandma's. Your Mommy's Mom (Grandma D) is a nut case. She is crazy as all get out but she is a fantastic woman. She is a ball of energy who loves to have a lot of fun. She came with me the day you were transferred into my body. She held my hand while I prayed to God for you. We cried together and shared a very special moment with the two of you. Even though you weren't exactly attached to mommy at the time. The four of us were together. It was amazing. Your Grandma D talks to you every time she sees your mommy. I'm sure you'll know her voice when you see her for the first time. She can't wait to meet you. You are her first grandchildren.
Then we have Grandma M. (Nana) This is Daddy's mom. She is a wonderful woman who also has a lot of energy. Your Daddy calls her a mule because she never stops! You will be grandchildren number 10 and 11 for her so she knows what it is like to be a Grandma. She likes to take the grand kids swimming and to the playground and she also has sleepovers so you girls will have a lot of fun with her. She is very down to earth and very kind. She is also so excited to meet you two. She emails me to check up on me all the time to see where you are. I keep telling her that you two are comfortable. She says I am amazing for carrying you two this far. I am so glad I did. Now you girls will be nice and healthy. God answers prayers.
Grandpa D. is Mommy's daddy. He is a very nice man. You will really like him. He is also a very busy man right now with his new business. He has asked mommy to have you two on either a Monday or Tuesday. We should probably listen to Grandpa D or else you may not get to meet him right away and that makes mommy sad. Of course, Grandpa D will come to see you two sweet little baby girls whatever day I have you. He was just joking. He better be! Ha! He keeps telling Mommy that I have swallowed a basketball and his eyes get really big when he sees Mommy's tummy. It is quite comical really. We went over to his and Grandma D's house for Thanksgiving and you kicked him when he touched my belly. Mommy almost had an accident because she was laughing so hard at Grandpa's reaction. He squirmed from the feeling because it has been so long since he has had a baby. You will love him. He can't wait to meet you.
Then there's Grandpa M. (Papa) What a sweet and quiet man. He just sits back and watches all the gran kids. They all love him so much. He is so friendly. You will have to talk loud when you speak to him because he can't hear very well. I think Daddy is starting to get ears just like him because he doesn't listen to Mommy either. I think he does that on purpose though. Your Papa probably does too. He tunes your Nana out. Ha! He is a retired pastor and he loves God so much too. Any questions you have about God, you can go to him or your Daddy since Daddy studied the bible in college too. Papa likes to tickle too so be careful. He gets you when you are not looking. He is just as excited as your other Grandpa and Grandma's. In fact, we all are!!! See how much you are loved???
We can't forget your Aunts and Uncles. Let's start with Mommy's brothers since that is who you will see most of the time. You will meet Uncle C. He is 15 years old and full of energy. He is a musician so if you want to learn how to play an instrument, you can have him teach you. He is an amazing guitar player and has taught himself a lot of the time. He can also play the piano like your Grandma D. Mommy sings at church so you will be surrounded by music. I'm sure you will love music just as much. Uncle C. always touches Mommy's tummy and asks so many questions about you girls. He can't wait to meet you.
Mommy also has a 19 year old brother. His name is Uncle J. He works really hard with your Grandpa D. at his business. He is very quiet but is a very nice person. He likes to touch Mommy's belly all the time too so all those pokes you feel are your Uncles. Uncle J. is waiting for your arrival so he can come over our house all the time with Uncle C. to see you girls. They like to stay the night and watch movies with us but something is telling me that might not happen for a while because they may be up all night with the two of you. And that means two grumpy teenagers in Mommy's house. No thank you! I've already been there. Of course, if they still want to, Mommy will always let them. They will have to enter at their own risk! LOL I may have to put them on diaper duty. Hey, I changed their diapers many times! It's only fair!!
Daddy has two sisters and one brother. You have Aunt H, Aunt K and Uncle S. They all live further away so you won't get to see them as much. Aunt H lives over an hour away and is very busy taking care of her family so we will see her on special occasions at Nana's and Papa's house. Aunt K lives in Canada and Uncle S lives in New York. I know that they are all coming to see you once you arrive. How exciting! They are all nice people too and you will love them and your cousins. You will have 7 cousins to play with on Daddy's side. They all get together and have loads of fun. It's a crazy house at Nana and Papa's so be prepared. Of course, some of them will be a lot older once you girls can play but I am sure they will take good care of you. How fun is that???
You also have two Great Grandma's and a Great Grandpa. They are so excited to meet you as well. They all call to check in on mommy from time to time to see where you girls are. I always have to tell them, I don't think they are coming. They are comfortable. They find that funny. Mommy, of course, doesn't. Ha!
Speaking of comfortable. You girls are quite snug in there and don't have much room. How about you come out to meet your entire family. We are all waiting so patiently for you. Of course, Mommy and Daddy aren't because we are so very excited to meet you two. I have carried you for almost 37 weeks. We have had good times and bad times. Of course, the good times outweigh the bad times. Mommy getting sick and in pain is worth every minute of it though. I promise. I will miss your sweet little kicks and all the belly rubs. But I think I will be happier when you are in my arms. The clock is ticking slowly girls. I have a count down for January 26th. Just 12 short days away. That is the day you are scheduled to make your appearance. I get emotional just thinking about it. To know that in less than two weeks, I will have two beautiful human beings in my life created by Mommy, Daddy and God. It is the most amazing and surreal feeling I have ever felt in my entire life. I can't even explain it.
I have felt so broken and I always felt like a piece of me was missing. Not anymore girls. You are the missing pieces and soon, my heart will be whole.
I love you two with everything I have.
Love,
Mommy
