Dear Jed: Changes

Dear Jed,

As I write this, it's only been 3 days since your Dad and I found out that our family is growing and that you, my gorgeous boy, are going to be a big brother. It'll be a while before we tell you, we haven't told anyone yet, (although by the time I post this you'll know). 

You are fast asleep as I write this....

.... and I can't stop looking at you and hoping with all my heart that you will be happy to be a big brother. I know I'm the youngest, so I'm sure it'll be different for you being the eldest, but I loved having a brother and sister to play with and I hope you do too.

You're a little bit younger than we would have planned for you to be, but you know I love surprises!

It's been a while since we told you and you seem quite excited, you like talking to mummy's baby, but you seem to think you can only do if you lift my tshirt up and talk directly to my stomach. You have me in stitches, generally all you like to say to the baby is different food items like shouting "beans,  humous" and then laughing. It's so cute and funny.

When I asked you the other day what the baby's name is, as I thought you never know you might say something we like, you said "Jed's brother, Jed2". Too cute. There's a bit of a cute theme going on to be honest!

You change your mind each time I ask you now as to whether it's Jed's sister or Jed's brother, but we'll find out soon enough.

You've been so helpful so far and I really hope you are just as happy to help out when they arrive, as then hopefully you'll find it exciting, as I know you are so independant already and like to do everything yourself, so I can imagine you might want to take over with the baby...

I'm really excited for this stage of our lives poppet and I really hope you are too.

I'm so proud of you. I hope you know that!

Love always,

Mum x
