To Liam, Love Mom

To my baby Liam,
I am so excited to meet you! And even though for the first three months I spent more time over a toilet bowl then anything else and now you insist on curling up on top of my bladder, sending me to the bathroom every hour, I still love you and I cannot wait until you get here!

I don't know if it's because you're my first baby or if this is normal but I can't help but worry about the world that you are coming into. I'm sure you would be so embarrassed if you saw the things I cry over and worry about, but I look around and things have changed so much in the past three years since I graduated high school that I can't even imagine what life will be like when you start school. Family value is diminishing and I worry about the things you will see and that you will see your friends go through and it breaks my heart. I know I can't protect you from everything but if there is anything that I could arm you with before you go into the world it would be the knowledge of the importance of families and the importance of building a strong relationship with your Heavenly Father and your family here on earth. I know that we aren't perfect in any way and I am sure that there will be times where all you will want to do is hide because lets face it, your dad and I can be pretty embarrassing in public, but I hope that we can teach you and prepare you to be strong in your values.

Liam I want you to know you are loved and I promise you that we will do our very best in teaching you and I will take all the time I can to teach you and spend time with you to help prepare you. I also promise that I will get out of the car in my pajamas, with no makeup, and curlers (which I will wear only to take you to school) and yell to you how much I love you. Just think only 18 years then you can leave us to go on a mission and serve the Lord.
See you in 4 months:)
Love,
Mom
