This baby shares blood with some of the most incredible people I've known... Which means that blood is coursing through me. Reilly, you and I are sharing blood right now.
This baby is also made up of everything I've eaten in the past 8 months... Lots of chocolate, squash, strawberries... Tangerines, string cheese, hamburgers... That Kneaders sandwich I shared with an old friend from high school... The last bite of someone's brownie who gave it up to me because I was drooling for it...
This baby has heard every word I've said for 8 months... Lots of swear words, unfortunately... But kind words, too. Hopefully she's heard me give lots of compliments, describe lots of sunsets, and extend lots of invitations for hugs.
She's heard everything I've heard, too--every song, every TV show, every argument...
I can't wait to see what all these elements create... I have a feeling she'll be more beautiful than I can even imagine.
