Letters to Lacey Belle & Weston: As We Prepare to Welcome Baby #3

 Dearest Lacey Belle & Weston,

For so long (the last four years) it's been just the two of you kids. My two little amigos. The best of friends. The best of siblings. You two have become inseparable. I have loved watching you two grow and remain close to each other. You watch out for one another like no one else. You always make sure to help and be by each others sides. It had made me so proud and happy to watch how kind you are to each other. I hope and pray you will do the same with your new littlest brother on the way.

I know it's going to be a big change. You're used to how things are just the two of you. You have your own rhythm and routine as two. And to be honest, I'm a bit worried how you'll accept a new baby and the changes it brings.

Things will be different for awhile. Things will have to change temporarily. We'll have to find a new groove with three. There will be a bit of an age gap and interest sifferenxe between you two and Baby. But I hope and pray you will still love and accept him into the group.

Going through this pregnancy with you has been such a blessing. The last time around Lacey Belle was too little to really know what was going on...but this time you're both old enough to understand it. You love to talk to Baby and feel him move in my belly. It has been such a joy watching you both get excited to meet Baby and doing ultrasounds all together as a family. 

I have no doubt you will love him. But I hope you will also embrace him. I hope you know that even though he'll need more of my time and attention early on, that I will still be here and love you both the same. Baby won't take my love, he will multiple it. It will grow just like your love will grow too.

I still love you both with all of my heart. I will do all that I can to keep things as normal as possible for you both. I will take the time needed to show you that. Things may look different but know that my love never changes. It is still the same.

Have patience with me like I will with you. Continue to love me like I do you. Never stop asking me to play. Never stop cuddling close during a show. Always kiss and hug me every day. You will always be my first two babies. Nothing will ever change how special you are to me!

Love, Mommy
