Letter to my baby

My dear little one,
     You, my child, are the answer to our prayers. The moment I found out you were growing inside me, I wept for joy. I thought I never would be a mommy, but here you are, proving me wrong. Even now, after 14 weeks of knowing you're there, every time I look down at my slowly growing belly, I giggle with delight, thinking about you there inside of me.

     I just started feeling your tiny kicks about a week ago. I've always dreamed of what it might be like to feel a baby kicking inside of me. I love feeling your little flutters and movements. Sometimes, if I haven't felt it for a few hours, I'll ask you, out loud, to kick. Being the good baby that you are, you usually do within a few minutes!

     Tomorrow, we get to see you again on the ultrasound. Daddy especially loves seeing you on the ultrasounds. He's made videos of each one, and likes to mimic the kicking and "dancing" that you do on them. We still haven't decided if we want to find out if you're a boy or a girl. I guess we'll decide tomorrow!

     So, my dear little "Shoebag," as much as I love having you growing in my tummy, I look forward to the day I get to hold you in my arms. You, my child, are a dream come true. You have already brought me such happiness!

With much love,
Mommy
