Mama says that Friday the 13th has always been special. Some people get afraid of bad luck that day, but Mama was born on a Friday the 13th. And then a long time later, Daddy got down on one knee on a Friday the 13th, and Mama says that was one of the best days. Yesterday was a Friday the 13th too, and Mama says she knew I was coming. She saw a few signs that made her wonder, but mostly she says she just "had a feeling." I don't know what feelings are, exactly, but sometimes I think Mama doesn't either. This morning she had to double check, just to be sure. That's when we first started talking.
Today is Valentines day and we get to tell Daddy the big news! Mama found a tiny card with hearts on it for me to give to Daddy. I hope he is excited and not scared. I hope he loves me.
Mama says that a whole lot of people are going to want to listen to me, even though I won't be able to talk for a couple of years. I don't know if she really thinks that or if she just wants to listen. I also don't know what "Illinois" is, but she says its an important place. I'm going to grow and change every day, she says, and there are a lot of stories to tell. We have to get to know each other, and we have to learn how to grow together. Mama says the world is very big, and there are so many things to see, but she is glad I'm very small. Small hearts can see and understand important things, she says, and big hearts need to hear them. So I guess that is what we will talk about.
Mama and I love music too, so we might share our favorites with you, because that's what troubadours do. Mama says I have to love music, so I do. I don't know what it is yet...but I love it.
I'm 4 weeks and 3 days old today, and I'm the size of a poppy seed. I don't know what that means, but Mama says its very teeny tiny. Mama says I'll be born in the fall. She loves the fall, and she says I will too.
Today we are listening to:
Jack Johnson, We're Gonna Be Friends
