Dear Baby,

This morning I had to be at an early morning meeting across town. Your brother and sister were still sleeping when I left the house so I peaked at them before I left and gave them each a kiss. Then I was in my car on my drive across town and I felt you move. The thought came to my mind, "Good. All three of my kids are safe." It is amazing to me how quickly I started feeling like a mother of three. I think that it was in September, when you were just a few weeks along, and I was at the park with your brother and sister. I looked around the playground and located Max, then Maggie. And then I felt like I needed to locate a third child. I remembered you were still inside me, but that strength of my feeling that I was responsible for three kids overwhelmed me. Dear baby, you are already very much a part of your family.

Love,
Mama
