As I lay here impatiently awaiting your arrival I thought that maybe I should write you a letter to let you know how much I love you already. I was truly over the moon when I took that first pregnancy test on December 19th. Having a baby was something that I wanted so very badly and the fact that it was happening put me over the moon. As time has gone on I have enjoyed most (smile) of the wonders of being pregnant. My two favorites have been hearing your heart beat at every doctor’s appointment and feeling you move around inside of me. And let me tell you…you LOVE to move around. I have enjoyed watching my belly grow over the weeks and rubbing oil on it gives me great satisfaction. I feel like when I am massaging oil on my stomach that it is just me and you…our personal time. Now the baby showers are over, the nursery is done, and all that is left is for you to enter the world.
I am already protective of you beyond words and want nothing but the best for you.I can’t protect you from everything, and I think that will make you (and probably me too) stronger. I can’t promise that you are going to like me all the time, but I can promise you that everything that I say and do to you is out of pure love for you. I will do everything I can to expose you to all that life has to offer and I want for you to grow up to be a well rounded MAN that will hopefully one day turn around and raise a well rounded MAN of his own. And I hope that you will feel as though you can come to me with anything. I promise to always have an open mind and hear you out completely.
I love you with every fiber of my being and look forward to the day when I can look into your eyes for the first time.
Love, Mom
