Dearest Norah,

In 1 day, 2 hours, and 33 minutes I will be 32 weeks pregnant with your beautiful self and I could not be more excited to meet you.

Many may not know this, but after your sister was born, we didn't know if we were going to be able to have more kids.  Actually a week before we found out I was pregnant with you, the doctor told us that I might have ovarian cysts or premature ovarian failure.

You may not know what those are, but they can possibly make it where mommy wouldn't be able to have babies.  The doctors told me to take birth control pills to see if that would help and so in a last ditch effort, at 6 am in the morning, mommy took a pregnancy test just to make sure.

The joy and relief I felt when I saw those two pink lines surpassed all the grief and depression I had felt knowing that I wouldn't have more kids lifted and I ran to your daddy and jumped on the bed, scaring him awake and showed him a stick with my pee on it.

I think it took him a while to get out of dream land, but when he realized what I said, he just held me.

Right now, daddy is a little scared to meet you because he is doing a lot for our family right now and he wants to do right by us, but don't worry, she is just as excited as I am.

Evelyn was our Angel Baby-rushing to greet us.  You, my sweet girl, are our Miracle Baby-the one we thought we'd never meet.

You take your time, and you get strong because we can't wait to hold you in our arms and cuddle you through the night.

(Maybe try your hardest not to come on Uncle Skyler's and Aunt Cadrina's wedding day, so you can have all the attention to yourself.)

We love you so much sweet girl.

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and Evelyn
