There was a time when it was just me and you.
Before anyone else called me “mom,” you did.
Before I knew what I was doing, you loved me anyway.
You were the little boy who made me a mother, and there will never be another first like you.
For so long, you’ve had all of me.
All the bedtime routines.
All the little moments in between that became our normal.
And now, soon, our world is growing.
Soon there will be another little heartbeat in this home.
Another baby to rock and hold and love.
And if I’m honest, part of me gets emotional thinking about how much is about to change.
Because I know one day I’ll blink and this season of “just you” will already be a memory.
But when I think about what’s coming for you…
I don’t just think about becoming a big brother.
I think about the incredible gift of having a sibling.
Someone to make memories with long after I’m gone.
Someone who will know the same family stories, the same traditions, the same version of home.
Someone to stay up laughing with.
To argue with over the dumbest things.
There is something so special about having someone walk through life with you from the very beginning.
And while right now you may not fully understand what’s coming…
one day I think you will.
One day you’ll realize what a lifelong gift this relationship can become.
Because siblings carry pieces of your childhood no one else can.
They remember where you came from.
They remember the little versions of you.
They know your family in a way the outside world never fully will.
And long after the baby stage passes…
long after toys are cleaned up and bedrooms change and everyone grows older…
you’ll still have each other.
That thought alone makes me emotional.
Because more than anything, I wanted to give you not just a sibling…
but a lifelong connection.
A person to walk through this life beside.
And oh, I cannot wait to watch you become a big brother.
I already know this baby is going to look at you like you hung the moon.
You are silly and protective and full of the sweetest heart.
And no matter how much changes, I need you to always remember this:
You are not losing your place.
You are gaining someone new to love you too.
You will always be the little boy who made me a mom.
Always the beginning of my whole world.
Now I get to watch your world grow too 🤍
