That little man is now 20-months. Twenty months. He'll soon be two years old, talking (and talking back)... and then onto kindy and school with his bigger brother.
Feels like I only wrote this last week...
Ps. Ryder was named Gaga whilst in utero, it seemed to fit as I was heavily into Lady Gaga, so Baby Gaga sounded funny at the time :) Until we decided on his actual name... then he became 'Knightrider'. Hubby would say goodnight to me and then say 'Night Ryder' to my belly and laugh.
Every.Night.
GaGa,
Here we are, now only days away from you entering the world, and there's so much I want you to know. I want you to know what you mean to me (your Mummy), your Daddy and your bigger brother (Logan) and how much happiness you're going to bring to our lives.
Mummy and Daddy thought that we would never have you and in a way, you're our little miracle. Ever since we knew that you were on your way into this world, we've felt incredibly blessed and lucky and we've never taken it for granted. From the first moment we saw your little heart beating, we've been completely besotted and your brother has been bursting with excitement, asking almost daily when you'll be joining our family.
Mummy felt so strongly that you were a girl, so we were very surprised to see you growing a little willy. We even asked for a second opinion because Mummy didn't believe the radiographer - we had a girl's name all picked out, so imagine our surprise when we're thrown into thinking of slugs, snails and puppy dogs tails! It didn't take us very long to get our heads around the surprise and relish in the awesomeness of having another little man running about - Logan has brought us so much happiness and we know that you will do the same. Our house is never quiet and Daddy is always off doing boy-ish things and has such big dreams of building go-karts, kicking the footy and watching V8's with you both; the thought of you being anything other than a boy now doesn't seem right. Mummy can teach you all about how to treat a girl the right way, how to be respectful and loving - you'll only have to look at your Daddy to see how a real man behaves, he'll be the perfect role model in your life. If Daddy ever gives you up for a few minutes, Mummy can also teach you how to cook some good meals! Logan loves cooking with Mummy in the kitchen <3
At the end of the day, we just want you to be happy in your life. We will support you in everything you want to do; you can come to us with your problems and we will always help you. We will never judge your life choices and make you feel less than the amazing son that we know you will be. Anyone who makes you feel less then that will have your Daddy and big brother to deal with.
Every night, Daddy has been saying goodnight to you and giving you cuddles and every night Logan has kissed you goodnight and has asked when you're coming out of Mummy's tummy - you are already loved beyond any words. Mummy has felt all your kicks, from the small butterfly flutters, to the rib stabs that she gets now, so we know that there's not much room left and you're on your way out. Mummy has even felt your hiccups, so you need to learn to slow down when you eat (much like Daddy!).
The past 9 months, whilst they have been a challenge for Mummy, have been the most fulfilling months and we know that the best is yet to come. We've watched you grow from a tiny bubble into what we've been told is a whopper of a baby and we cannot wait to meet you.
From the moment you enter this world our little family of 4 will be complete and perfect <3
We love you so much,
Mummy and Daddy <3
