I saw this on a blog once. I don't remember who's it was but I LOVED the idea and I promised I would do it for my little one when that time came. I'm going to do my best in these next 14 weeks to write a few letters to my sweet Emma.
Dear Emma,
I don't even know where to begin. Your daddy and I can't wait to meet you. We count down the months, the weeks, the days, the minutes. You are a precious gift to us and we are so thrilled that you will be coming into our lives soon. We prayed so hard for you and couldn't believe it after 12 hard months of trying that we finally succeeded. You're our little miracle. I struggled with hope, mostly because of what doctors and people would tell me and it terrified me. I almost thought you'd never come. But there was something that kept telling me not to give up. Because I know that God is more powerful than those doctors and my disorders. I still am in disbelief when I look at myself in the mirror and see my big belly haha. I smile so wide when I feel you moving around. When I first heard your heartbeat it was like music to my ears! I just thought to myself, "There really is a baby in there!" I remember when we got our ultrasound and I saw you, so perfect. When they told me, "It's a Girl!" and I sobbed. I was so thrilled! I loved watching you roll around and suck on your thumb. Your dad and I just looked at each other and said, "She's ours." I picture seeing you everyday! I can't even wait! But please don't hurt me haha. I love you so much already and I can't wait to dedicate my life to you. I know it's going to be hard but it's going to be worth it. Your dad loves you so much too. He's been working hard on your nursery and he talks about you ALL the time. He also takes good care of your mama. He calls you his little angel. It makes my heart full to hear that from him. You are going to be so loved little girl. And SO spoiled! Your grandma's are going to just adore the crap out of you! Haha. And I can't even imagine how your grandpa's are going to be. It's going to be crazy! First grandchild and a granddaughter! We're in big trouble! Your aunt and uncles can't wait to meet you either. They're really excited! Everyone is excited! You are so special, don't ever forget that. We love you and will give you the best we can. Any struggles we've had emotionally, physically, and financially have all been worth it because we know we'll have you!
Love you sweet girl. I don't think I can say that enough. We can't wait to cover you in kisses.
Love,
Your Mommy.
