It's currently March 22nd at 6 in the morning. We watched Last One Laughing late last night and you're not even a mom yet but I'm pretty sure you're going to be today. (I was wrong when I wrote this.)

I woke up and checked if your water broke, like you wouldn't have woken up lol. But I'm just so anxious to become a dad and to see you become the cutest mom that there ever was.

Today marks the first Mother's Day in a long series where I'll have the luxury of celebrating you. You're the best thing that's happened to me in my entire life.

I know that there are going to be hard times ahead, way harder than anything we've been through yet, but it doesn't scare me. Not with you by my side. (That being said, I can see how me not being scared would absolutely terrify you, but I promise, it's a good thing!)

This pregnancy has been a dream (for me hehe). You've been the nicest, sweetest, cyassiest angel (CHONKY ANGEL that would get absolutely destroyed by Carl Lampe in the 152lb weight class, he went on to play lacrosse at Amherst College btw) and I can't wait to live in a home with my two angels.

I've been dreaming about this milestone in our journey for literal decades (I think it's plural if you count decimals) and now that it's finally here, I have a strange feeling of serenity knowing that we're going to go through this together. Not because I'll be able to rely on you, although you know I do, but because I can't imagine doing a single thing with you that wouldn't go perfectly. Especially if that thing is half you and me, but mostly you.

I'm so happy to have you in my life. I'm so happy that you ARE my life. You and little baby Haemin are my life. Love you so much.

And since life begins at conception (hehe) here's a fun little montage of the life that made you a mom.
