It is just a few short months until I get to hold that tiny
hand that we first saw on ultrasound a couple months ago. In just a few short
months we will be seeing your eyes and holding you so tight for the very first
time. I can’t wait to kiss your tiny toes and squeeze your tiny cheeks. You have been one of my first thoughts every morning, and the last
thought before I fell asleep for the last 7 months. I cannot even fathom what
it is going to be like to see you for the very first time. To hear your first
cries will be surreal. Seeing your Daddy’s eyes light up when he meets you will
be magical. To finally have a purpose in this life that is mine, all mine—being
your mommy. We are thrilled!
We cannot wait to meet you; what joy you will bring to our
family. I love to sit and dream about what you will look like and what kind of
personality you will have. Will you have your Daddy’s nose? Will you have my
eyes? Will you be stubborn like me, or will you be patient like your Daddy?
Will you be athletic like your Daddy, or not-so-athletic like me?
My heart was elated to find out that we were going to be
blessed with a baby girl as our firstborn. For a short 16 years of my life, I
had something very special with my mom. There is something about a relationship
between a mommy and her daughter that I have been longing for since your
Grandma Ann passed away almost 10 years ago already. My heart has longed every day since losing her for
that relationship and special bond, and I can’t wait to have that with you,
Baby Girl. We will have tea parties, play house, go on walks, and eventually we
will have late-night talks and shopping dates. We will make the most out of
every moment we are given—that is a promise. Grandma Ann would be so excited to meet you,
and it brings tears to my eyes that she won’t be here to witness all of these
special moments with her first grandchild. But I do know one thing, she is
watching over us from heaven, and we will all meet again one day soon.
I have been praying that God would prepare me for what is
about to change in our lives, and that I can be the best Mommy to you possible.
I never want to take a single moment for granted that you are ours, because I
know how short this life is. You are such an amazing gift from God, and we
thank Him every day for you. You will be perfect, Baby Girl, because you are
fearfully and wonderfully made by a God who is so much bigger than life itself.
We promise to raise you in a household who knows and loves the God that created you. You will always know your purpose in life; that is my
greatest prayer for you.
I promise to nurture you and to love you with all of my
heart, and to be there for you mentally, emotionally, and physically every day
of your life.
Baby Girl, I love you with all of my heart and can’t wait to
finally hold you in my arms.
Love and Prayers,
Mommy
