Analise,
I can't adequately express in words how much you mean to those of us who love your parents so much. You are a wish fulfilled, a dream come true, truly the best gift ever. It's a wonderful time when a baby is born into a family, but this exceeds that by far! Your arrival will be a testament to God's faithfulness and his love ~ how deep, how wide, how great! Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (1 Cor 13:7) Truly your parents have loved you into their arms.
I can't wait to see your sweet little face in person.
