Dear Marcus,
I started a blog for your brother to keep track of all of the fun and special things that he does. I am so excited to start yours! You have been with us for a week now and it feels like it's been forever. I cannot imagine life without you. You are a sweet blessing for our family. Before we found out you were on the way, we had struggled with infertility for a long time. Then after we adopted Jordan, we tried to adopt again, only to have our hearts broken three times in a year with failed adoptions. We still love and pray for Jake, Millie, and Ruby.
After so much hurt and struggle, finding out I was pregnant with you was a complete shock! I cannot believe that God would choose to bless us with such a precious little boy. You are polar opposites from your brother. You are so relaxed and calm. People keep telling me that it will wear off, but I can tell...you are just pure sweetness!
You came about three weeks before your due date. It was such a blessing to have your Grammy and Pappa here from Africa for your arrival. They love you so much as do many, many people who have been anxiously awaiting you. There are so many people praying for you, little man and I look forward to see how God will answer those prayers. I am praying that you will grow in to a man who loves God and will serve him no matter what comes.
I look forward to every stage of your life. I am enjoying the newborn stage right now! All you really do is eat and sleep. You only cry when you have your diaper changed or get really hungry. You are a piece of cake and unbelievably sweet!
Well, I love you, buddy. I look forward to writing to you and letting you know just how special you are.
Love,
Mom
