Letters to Lola: A Big Sister!

Published on by JButtersLeave a comment

My Angel Baby,

Words cannot express how proud I am of you! Lola, you are the best big sister on the planet. I love the way you call your brother “Bobo”, make sure mom and dad snuggle him when he cries, kiss his head, and ask for him every morning without fail. You have made this transition the easiest it could ever be. My hope has always been that you and Bodhi will be best friends, always take care of each other, and love each other through all the things. And IT IS HAPPENING! I love you always, my baby. Keep being the amazing, sassy, kind-hearted person and big sister that you are!

Love, Mama

Letters to Lola

Published on by JButtersLeave a comment

Shortly before Lola was due to arrive, Andrew and I each wrote a letter to our baby girl.

From Mama:

To my sweet Lola Bear,

This journey has already been so special. You are such a blessing to your father and I, and we know you’ll be one to the world as well.

While I think most mamas would be so excited to meet their babies, and I am, I also don’t want you to leave me just yet. I treasure being able to safeguard you from the outside world, and to know we have a special bond no one can take away. I am very happy with you still here inside of me.

What I wish for you is a life filled with love, adventure and impact. That you find your people, your pleasures and your passion. I know you’ll make such a deep impression on this world, because you already have on your parents. I hope that you always know you matter.

I love you to the moon and back, little one. Always and forever.

Mama Bear



From Daddy:

Dear sweet Lola,

I am anxiously awaiting your arrival. I have never felt more ready for something than I am to be your father. You are an absolute blessing to me for which I will always be thankful. I know you will overflow my heart with love and joy. I cannot wait to watch you, teach you, learn from you, care for you, guide you, help you, lift you up when you fall and be your confidante and friend when life hits hard. You are so loved already.

Love, Dad
