Dear Daughter

Tonight your mother and I will go check-into the hospital. It’s pretty exciting. This time tomorrow you’ll hopefully be here and I would get to finally meet you after a 9 month wait!

Your mother has been a trooper. She’s been amazing over the past 9 months, and has added a grace to pregnancy that wasn’t there before :) She managed so much without me, and never complained. You’ll like her when you meet her.

As for me, well, I’m not sure what sort of a father I’ll be. Today, I can only think I’ll be relaxed and helpful when you need me. I don’t think I’ll say “no” to you too often, but I may try to discuss things a lot! It’ll get on your nerves a bit later on, unless you’re like me then you’ll enjoy it.

I promise we’ll work hard to give you a good life. I’m not sure what that means yet, but we’ll provide food, shelter and a top education. We’ll teach you right from wrong, and your mom will probably talk to you about religion. It’s up to you to decide how much of all of this you’ll retain.

It’s a big day tomorrow, so rest well (stop kicking your mom at least) and see you then.

Love,

Dad
