To my future niece(s) and/or nephew(s),

You cannot know how much I love you already. Knowing of your arrival brings such joy to my life and the anticipation is unbearable. I know we will get along great. I know that I will love sharing this life with you, watching you grow, reveling in all your accomplishments. You have yet to make your debut and you are already so loved by so many. There is a whole world of people waiting to meet you, and in just a few short months, we will be able to say "hello" for the first time. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms. I cannot wait to cradle your little head and watch you silent yawns. I cannot wait to see you smile. My baby niece(s)/nephew(s), I love you so much.

Your debut into this world will only make it a better place.

I cannot wait to see if you look more like your mom or dad. I cannot wait to hear your voice for the first time. I cannot wait to take you to Fenway, read your stories, and even help you with homework. You are going to be spoiled rotten -- and not just by me. You have so many aunts and uncles ready to give you the biggest hugs and ready to celebrate you every day. Not to mention your wonderful grandparents who are beyond eager to meet you. You haven't met them yet, but when you do you're going to love them as much as they love you.

So, my future niece(s) and/or nephew(s), you cannot possibly know how loved you are, but just know that you are loved. Just know that I have been so excited to meet you since I found out about your existence. This life is so great when you have a loving family and trust me, you're being born into the best family.

I love you already.
