Dear Hamp

My Dear Hamp, Here we are just 5 short days from your arrival (unless you decide to come sooner)! In some ways I feel like you've been cooking in there forever, but in others, I feel like it was just yesterday that I learned that you were on your way to complete our family. You proved to be quite the mystery during your ultrasounds by refusing to let us see that precious face of yours. You can't imagine how excited I am to meet you at long last. You are a mover and a shaker and for some reason I have a feeling you'll be our fiesty one. 

As a second child myself, I know a little bit about some of the things you'll go through with your brother, who, by the way, is so excited about you! Rest assured that you will be picked on, you will think he's out to get you sometimes, but know as sure as the sun that he will have your back when it counts for the rest of your days. I pray every day for the two of you to be best friends and I will do everything I can to foster a strong, loyal relationship between the two of you, my precious boys. 

 Hamp, you were loved from the moment I learned you were growing inside me and you'll be loved every day for the rest of time, no matter what.

I can't wait to get my hands on you, sweet one. 

Love, 

Mama
