To Our Child

I heard that when TTC, it is a good idea to write down your feelings, share them with others, and just be open about how you are feeling about the process. I don't want to be sad. I want to be happy that we have begun this journey and that in due time, we WILL have a baby. I was inspired by one of my JM friends to write a letter to my baby. I wrote it in my journal, but I thought it would be useful for me to add it to my blog, so I can revisit it when I feel like I need to.


Dear Baby,

Well, we are thinking that we will be waiting yet another month to hold you in our arms. I just want you to know how much you are loved, how much we look forward to your arrival, and that we pray each and every minute of every day that "this month is it" and that you will start to grow in Mommy's belly.

We are holding on to the little bit of hope that we still have this month. We are praying for a positive pregnancy result and that you will be with us in September. We know that you will come to us, in God's time. You will be the greatest joy in our life. You already are.

Mommy and Daddy's friends and family are all beginning to have babies. It makes it very hard to wait for your arrival, but we are trying very hard to be patient and to think positively.
We think about you every day, we love you more than anything in the entire world, and we can't wait until you are part of our lives here on earth. We want you to meet your beautiful cousins, grandparents who will spoil you rotten, all of your wonderful Aunties and Uncles, whether by blood or by heart. You are such a loved little baby. We hope to see you soon. Can't wait to meet you.

All our love,

Mommy and Daddy
