December 15, 2008 - My first letter to my baby
Ever since I found out that I was pregnant with you, my life has completely changed. I realized that it is no longer about me, but it is about you - this precious miracle that I have been blessed with. I promise to do my best to raise you to become a wonderful person that everyone wants to be around.
Over the past couple of weeks, you have had me feeling all kinds of emotion, but most of all, I am so happy to have you in my life. Its been a long time since I have tried to become pregnant with you and I can only begin to describe the joy you have brought me. I can’t wait until I get to meet you in person.
However, it has not all been a pleasant experience. I have begun to create a list of foods that you do not like and I am definitely going to have to avoid them or else I will be spending quite a bit more time in the bathroom. Contrary to popular belief, morning sickness does not occur in the morning, but anytime of the day. I have also experienced some cramping, but I just know that it is my uterus stretching in order to make room for you. I just can’t believe that you are only about 1/4 inch long and already causing all this. Even though all of this sounds so unpleasant, I would not change any of it. I am loving every moment of it because it just reminds me that you are inside of me.
I go on Friday to see (and hopefully hear) your heart beating. Once that happens, I think that it will really all become real to me. I can’t wait.
I will love you always,
Your Mommy
