20 weeks

We found out who you were that week in March it snowed
Our lives transformed like our city, covered in white, a blank page
I was wrong in my assumptions, but not a trace of disappointment was felt
The boy and man you will be filling my daydreams and mind
We ventured out in the snow together, into the bitter cold, you inside the warm cocoon
One day we will come out and play in the snow and your eyes will be filled with wonder, like mine
You will run and jump and gather it in your hands, laughing as it sticks to your gloves
We can’t wait to have these adventures with you, little man
But for the time being, we adventure as a two, soaking up these final moments before you enter our lives
You will enter a life already filled with love, Caleb, which will expand and overflow with you in it
Whole hearted boy of ours, you will fill our hearts as the snow fills the streets and the fields
