Letter From Mother to unborn Baby [Letter 3]

Dear Baby,


When I first found out that I was pregnant, I made a promise. That promise was that I would write about my pregnancy at least once a month. And then I promised that I would give you what I wrote for your 18th birthday. Your reading this eighteen years from now. I hope that after reading these letters, you never doubt my love.

Month #1

I'M PREGNANT !!! I just found out. I am extremely excited, but nervous at the same time. I have yet to tell your father. I'm kind of afraid of his reaction. What if he's not excited as I am? That's the only fear that I have. I think I'm going to wait a while. Maybe I'll tell him next month... I love you.

MONTH #2

I just told your dad. I'm so happy with his reaction. He hasn't stopped smiling since. The second I told him, he called his entire family. Your grandma and grandpa from your daddy's side are coming over next week. They are excited too. You're going to be their first grand son or grand daughter. They can't wait... I love you.

MONTH #3

Honestly, life couldn't get any better right now. I'm being treated like a queen. Anything I want, I get it. The morning sickness is starting though. And so isn't the nausea. It's truly a horrible feeling, but I'll go through it all, as long as I have you in the end... I love you.

MONTH #4

I am not in the mood for much now. Everything is hitting me hard. Your father is working double shifts, day and night, just so that we can have enough once you're born. Hopefully once your born everything will go well. A great big happy family, that's how I imagined my family. Me staying at home taking care of you, while your dad is out working. I'll start working after you're about four. I want to see you grow, I want to be there to witness everything... I love you.

MONTH #5

I was sitting down today, thinking about the day you're going to be born. Thinking about your first tooth, your first time crawling, about your first time sitting up on your own. Just thinking about these things makes me want to push the fast-forward button, just so I can experience it all... I love you.

MONTH #6

WOW! My tummy is getting bigger everyday. Every where I go I have people asking me whether you're a boy or a girl, whether they can rub my belly or not, if they can rub my belly. Of course I tell them, because when ever I answer these repetitive questions, it reminds me of how happy I'm going to be once your in my arms... I love you.

MONTH #7

The last thing I ever wanted to happen happened. Your daddy and I were on our way to Macy's when a car crashed into us. I was rushed to the hospital. I was bleeding from my forehead, but you were the only person I worried about. I anxiously awaited as they ran tests after tests after tests. They said you would be fine... I love you.

MONTH # 8

Walking up and down the stairs has never been this hard. Trying to sleep is even harder. It takes me forever just to find the perfect spot. I guess that's what happens when I gain fifty pounds... I love you

OCTOBER 13, 2008 !

"I CAN SEE THE HEAD!" shouted the doctor. Tears fell down my cheeks as I pushed harder. The fact that your head was now visible inspired me. I've never pushed that hard in my life. I was in labor for eleven hours. The pain was horrific. The screams were mind boggling. The outcome was worth it all...


... I love you.

Love Forever and Always,
Mami <3
