Dear Baby | March 2018

Dear future baby,

Thank you for the most humbling experience of my life. You will soon learn, Mommy is very Type-A. Anytime I want something, I make it happen. You are a different story, one I am not use to telling, because you’re still not here. You my love, are out of my control, and I am learning to accept that. I am thankful you are making me wait. Because of you, I am praying again. I am going to church again. Daddy and I are closer than ever! And more than anything, I am reminded how fortunate we are to be able to have this experience, to continue to try and create you, when there are so many others who are not as blessed. I am still so new at this, and so aware of how challenging this could be. With all of my heart, as excited and ready as I am to become your Mama, I am accepting of whatever journey you want to take me on. Thank you for showing me the true meaning of patience. Thank you for allowing me to create so many memories that would have been celebrated differently if you were already here. I thought I would be sick of hearing “Everything happens for a reason,” but I’m not. I know you are going to debut at the perfect time, and I know you will have been well worth the wait. I love you so much already, and I cannot wait to meet the miracle that has already taught me so much.

Love always,

Your excited-anxious-scared-BUT SO READY to be Mommy
