Abby - Let me just start by saying I love you. I love you more than you could ever imagine. I love that you sit and rub my stomach and talk to "baby Hunter". I love that even though you have no clue what is about to happen to our family, you are so excited about helping me with him because he won't be able to do things that you can. I love that this morning as you were telling Hunter "good morning!" he kicked and your face lit up. I really love that you told me that when Hunter came home from the hospital that "we would all be a family".
A family. Yes, we will my sweet girl. Honestly, for a long time, your dad and I thought that YOU alone might just make our family complete. But, then we decided that you needed a brother or sister more than we thought you did! Hunter will (more than likely) complete our family. He will look up to you and love you just like your dad and I do.
Please know that things will be hard for a while. Things will be different, but your dad and I will always be here for you even though Hunter needs a lot of our attention as well. YOU are our #1 girl and always will be. I praise Jesus for you every day. MY girl!!!
Friday will be a big, big day!! I can't wait to see your face as you meet Hunter in person. Give him lots of kisses, but not all of mine, ok?? I love you. I love you!!
Bo and I met at Baylor and were married on August 5, 2000. We had a baby girl on September 18, 2007. Three years later, the Lord blessed our family with a son. He was born on January 28, 2011. I feel so blessed and honored to be the mom of two beautiful children! I love my life!!

Mandy, precious letter to your girl. I had tears streaming down my face as I read it. It is going to be a BIG day for all of you and so special to watch Abby become a big sister! She is going to be GREAT! I just know it! So will you & Bo. :)
I am so excited for your family. I know how emotional it is before having another and you worry so much about your only child, but it will be great and abby will love him so much and won't remember a time without him. It will be perfect!! I hope I get to talk to you tomorrow. I know you must be going through a lot right now but I hope you are excited and have a peace about everything. Love you, Bo, Abby and Hunter so much!!!!! Praying for all of you!!
Mandy! Love this letter. You must print it out and save it. I'll be thinking about y'all ALL DAY on Friday and how your family will change from 3 to 4!!! It's an adjustment for everyone, getting used to the new family dynamic, but soon, you, Bo and Abby will feel that Hunter has been with you forever and won't be able to imagine your family as being anything other than 4 members! Praying for y'all!!!
Sniff, sniff. Abby is going to do great! I know it!
Love you and all my hugs and prayers.
She will love reading this someday...sweet!
Ahhh! Your letter brought back memories for me! I wrote a letter just like that to Eddie right before I had Sophia. I still remember crying as I wrote it. All the emotions are so complicated, but in the end your close bond with Abby will not just stay the same, but grow!! And you will have a cute, little man to make you laugh. I can't believe the day is finally here! No more sleeping by my phone every night! You know I love you and I can't wait to hold Hunter.
I know you don't know me, but I "stalk" you via your sister ;) Just want you to know I'm praying for you. So exciting! ~ Kelley
Oh my. I am a sobbing hot mess. This is so precious and special. It will be a big change, but a GOOD one. Usually things that are worth the most are hard work. Love you Abner!
