Dear Brittany,

(Side note - Brittany is my daughter's best friend and I couldn't love her more if I had given birth to her.She's my daughter, too, and she calls me Mama Andrea.)

We're all anxiously awaiting the birth of little Landyn, wondering when he's going to make his grand appearance into our world. I'm sure you're ready to get it all over with, so you can hold him in your arms and count ten little fingers and ten little toes.

I guess since it wasn't my pregnancy (or April the giraffes) it seems like these months have flown by. I remember sitting on the porch, getting a text from Courtney with a picture of a positive pregnancy test and it said "Brittany's pregnant!!!" I was so happy because to me it felt like I was getting another grandchild!

When you hold Landyn, in your arms, you will feel a love that you never knew existed. It's an indescribable, love without end. Besides being called Nana, being a Mom is the best title you can ever be given.

I know that you're gonna be an awesome mama, There's gonna be sleepless nights, lots of poop, times when you're not sure if you're doing it right, but we're all here to cheer you along and help if you need it. Never be afraid to ask for help, if doesn't mean you're a failure or anything like that. Most of the time it just means you're tired.

I love you, my sweetie, and you're gonna rock motherhood!

Love always,

Mama Andrea

PS - I haven't had a dream about Landyn like I had about Alex being a chihuahua or Jax being a cat.
