Today I attended a wild jungle themed baby shower for a sweet baby girl. There were lots of friends and family on hand for the special day. Delicious food. Fun games. Tons of gifts. And a million laughs. I realize that in the midst of all the gift packaging I did not give the card I had purchased. Therefore there was no cute note or huge paragraph for the mom to be to read... so I'll just do it here...
Dear Baby AJ,
When we welcome you into this world in November, I know it will be overwhelming at first. You will have numerous aunties (like myself) and uncles ogling over your every stretch and cooing noise and a million other people smothering you with kisses. You will be passed around from person to person for hours on end (hopefully their hand will be clean). As annoying as we may be - know that this all comes with a promise. I promise to shower you with pointless but baby safe gifts and clothes that you will outgrow in a few weeks. I promise to hand you back to your mom when you start to cry or smell like poop. BUT, I also promise to be an amazing a support system that will do anything and everything for you whenever you need; even before you ask. I have nothing but yours and your moms health and happiness in mind.
I hope you know how special your mommy is and how much she loves you. She is so strong. One day you will not only inherit her hardheadedness but her determination. And when you go through puberty and act rebellious - heheh your mom will secretly understand. Give her a break! She's our baby girl too you know.
Baby AJ - can't wait to meet you <3 Til then - be nice and don't kick too hard.
