Your dad and I are so excited about meeting you! And while we still have tons of stuff to do to prepare for your arrival (like pick out your nursery's color scheme, get you a place to sleep, clean clothes, clean diapers, etc.) I wish it was tomorrow because I really like baby snuggles and I suspect your baby snuggles will be the best thing ever. Your dad is a pretty awesome snuggler, but I suspect you are the best snuggler ever in the history of the world and I'm really looking forward to that.
There's just one concern I have about your arrival. See your due date is July 7 and you and I both know that due dates aren't a terribly exact science. In fact, it's most likely that you'll arrive a week after that. And I'm totally cool with that. Which brings me to my request: can you please hang tight until about 3 p.m. on July 15? That should give me plenty of time to either go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at midnight or the earliest matinée, depending on how much energy you've left me at that point.
Me at Platform 9 3/4. For reals.
You might have figured it out by now but I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and this is the last big Harry Potter event (Unless there's a book 8, which if it happens, I will literally wet myself with joy.) and it's so bittersweet and exciting. And if you're already here by July 15 then it will be tricky for me to get to the theater in a timely manner because I can't leave you without your only food source for the length of a Harry Potter film. And I'm not sure I want you to experience the terror of Voldemort yet so I probably shouldn't take you to the theater with me. And technically you owe me because I put off seeing the last Harry Potter movie for two weeks because I felt so icky and tired and incapable of going to a theater thanks to you. And while you're totally forgiven for all that (and that I won't be able to fit in my Harry Potter t-shirt), it might be nice if you could let me see this one on release day.
So that's all. Keep growing and getting cute in there and we'll see you in July. Preferably after I've seen the last Harry Potter movie. ;)
All my love,
Mom

Elizabeth, don't listen to your mommy. July 7th is the best. day. EVER.
Elizabeth, now is as good a time as any to learn that your Aunt Megan lies. ;)
You're special Sweetie.
I personally feel the 10th is the best.
You are precious. I love this.
If all else fails, we can see it for the first time together when I get home! We'll just have my parents watch Elizabeth and go out on the town :)
Haha, I loved this letter mainly because I love Harry Potter too and that picture. :)
