Dear Little Pea,
You are quite a surprise for us. We were planning your mommy and daddy's wedding, thinking you were not to be. You see, some silly doctor told mommy and daddy they would never be able to create you...still, here you are! You are such a surprise that your Uncle Kenny lost his knees when we told him and had to sit down! He was speechless, and you'll find out, that's rare for him.
We found out about you on Auntie Gracie's ninth birthday. Mommy kept getting a tummy ache when she got in the car. Honestly, I think she bought the test just to shut your daddy up. Boy, was she surprised!
I cried, of course. I have been waiting so long for you!
I can't wait to see you. So, you just keep dividing those cells, and growing those little pink pearl piggies and that little button nose, and those sweet little fingers and those rosebud lips, and I'll be the one reading to you and praying for you. When you hear those prayers being sent up to God, it's me thanking Him for sending you. So, just keep growing Little Pea, and while you do, we'll be waiting for you.
Love,
Mamaw

Never having had any children of my own, I missed out on a lot, but after having been there from the moment of their birth,my two step grandchildren have helped me to see why parents do, or don't do,much of what they do with their children.When you have had the pleasure of seeing and knowing them from the moment they come into this world, it's hard to be upset with them, even when they do things you know they shouldn't. I think after 34 years, my husband finally understands why I would get so upset with him when he let his two girls get away with so much. I didn't have the memories of their infancy to draw upon like I do with our grandchildren.
