Dear Ava,
As your due date approaches, I can't help but think about you. I often wonder what you will be like...
Maybe you'll have blue eyes like Mommy. Or maybe they'll be green like Daddy's.
Maybe you'll want long hair. Or maybe you'll like it better short.
I wonder if you'll get Mommy's cheeks, or Daddy's lips.
I wonder if your hair will be frizzy, straight, or curly.
I wonder if you will be tall or short; thin or chunky.
I wonder if you'll be easy going and laid back. Or if you'll be stubborn and high maintenance.
Maybe you will be athletic. Or maybe you'll be artistic.
Maybe you will want to do cheerleading, gymnastics, or dance.
Or maybe you'd rather try soccer, basketball, or softball.
Maybe you'd rather learn to play piano or guitar.
Maybe you'll enjoy music and singing.
Maybe you'll like to write.
Maybe your favorite color will be pink or purple.
Or maybe you'll like blue and red better.
Maybe you'll like playing dress up. Or maybe you'd rather play in the dirt.
Maybe you'll like to play princesses and tea parties.
Or maybe you'd rather build with Legos and play with toy cars.
Maybe you'll want to wear dresses and big hair bows. Or maybe you'd rather wear shorts and a t-shirt.
Maybe you'll like to fish. Or maybe you'd rather not get dirty.
Maybe you'll be a girly girl. Or maybe you'll be a tom boy.
Maybe you'll like animals. Or maybe you won't want a pet.
Maybe you'll like to save your money. Or maybe you will want to spend it all.
Maybe you'll want to be a nurse or lawyer. Or maybe you will start your own business.
Maybe you'll be organized. Or maybe you'll do things on the fly.
Maybe you'll need a planner. Or maybe you'll keep up with everything in your head.
Whatever kinds of things you like and whatever you choose to do, whatever your personality and whoever you become, your daddy and I will always love you--no matter what! We are always here for you and will support you in your decisions. We'll be your biggest cheerleaders and number one fans. We'll do our best to be at every game or recital. We'll try not to miss out on the things that are important to you. Because the things that are important to you will be important to us. We will enjoy them because we love you. We will encourage you to chase your dreams and remind you that you can do anything you set your mind to. We will always believe in you and will always, ALWAYS, love you!
We can't wait to meet you, sweet girl!
Love Always,
