Camp

Dear Campton Thomas,
If you ever get a chance to read mommy's blog you'll see weekly updates for your sisters pregnancy and none for yours. I hope you don't resent me for that as it has been a very busy 37 weeks and your big sister is a tiny tornado that cannot be slowed down! Please know it does not mean I love you less or haven't thought about you, it has just been a complete whirlwind and at some point my love for writing dwindled.
   We have been on this journey together for almost 37 weeks and you have been so much nicer to mommy than Tenley was. I had some nausea with you but nothing like with your sister. You are a stubborn little guy and wouldn't show us a good picture of your spine at your anatomy scan, but did good the next time. We did two 4D ultrasounds in hopes of seeing your sweet little face and you gave us very little to work with. We could see your sweet little chubby cheeks just like your sister had! I started to feel you around 18 weeks and you are quite the mover! You make bigger movements than Tenley did and its pretty much nonstop. I have a feeling this might be a glimpse of what life with you will be like in the years to come.
   We are so excited to meet you Camp, and I promise you are going to love your family so much. While I would like to be talking mostly about myself, I will be just one of many people who will love you more than you can ever imagine. You are going to love you Daddy and sister. They are so amazing. It will be a little bit but before long you will be right in the middle of them wrestling and chasing each other up and down the hallway. I have no doubt it will be three against one most times, even though I have prayed for a sweet little mama's boy, since your daddy has your sister wrapped around her finger. But no, I'm willing to bet I will be out numbered (rightfully so, your dad is ah-maz-ing) and that's OK because I am just so blessed to be apart of this family God has given me. Don't get me wrong, I think you'll like me too. I'm just a better "cuddler" than "player." There will be no shortage of cuddles and kisses from me, I wonder how long you and your sister are going to let this continue before it's no longer cool.
   You should be here in the next three weeks or so and I am fine with sooner than later..just so you know:) Everything is ready for you and we cannot wait to meet you. I feel more sure than I did with Tenley and also a little anxious because I know exactly how exhausted I will. I have to say I am looking forward to our quiet times together at all hours of the night. I'm looking forward to the weight of you on my chest and that newborn smell that will be imprinted on me forever. I anxiously await your first cry and I can't wait to plant kisses all over your sweet little face. You are going to change our lives forever and it's going to amazing!
   We love you so much Campton Thomas. We cannot wait to meet you!
