Lil B, this time of year in Arizona when the rain comes in every few days and falls hard, reminds me of when I was pregnant with you in my belly.
It is hard to explain how the rain makes me so sentimental. It might be because this time last year you were just a few weeks away from arriving. Just a few weeks away from changing our entire lives. How excited we were. How much I enjoyed being pregnant those last few weeks – you hiccuped so much, were so quiet and still late at night and a squirrelly little acrobat come early morning. Your father and I would lay in bed and wonder what it would be like to have you in the bassinet next to us, how you would look, what your character and personality would become, when the day would come when we would finally meet you.
The rain makes these moments come back to life. A year later they are still so vivid. I will always cherish the time you and I were one.
So happy you are here today. I love you and so glad we are getting to know you.
