Pending Aria's Arrival

A few days from now, you will be here. Among us.

With Jack. Your big brother.
He'll be your playmate. Your teacher. Your defender. Your bulwark.

He's been talking to you at your momma's belly. Have you heard him?
He's prepared for you. Been whispering your name then slipping out a smile.
He's become independent so mommy and daddy can tend to you.
He's potty trained. Eats an ice cream cone. And sleeps in a big boy bed.
He loves going to the library, the park, and Grandma's house.
He enjoys the yard, the butterflies, and the fishies in Grandpa's pond.

There isn't a person he meets that he doesn't want to know.
But knowing you will change his life forever.
Your presence will give him a playmate, a sister, and a friend.

Knowing Jack for over two years now has bettered my life.
And you, Aria, will do the same in your own way.

We're already off to a good start because
We have something in common.

Our musical names.
