To My Future Baby

A couple of weeks ago, I started a notebook filled with letters to my future baby. I usually try to write in it at least once a week. I even managed to convince G to write a letter to our maybe baby. I've decided to share one of my letters with you.

24 February 2014
To my future baby:
Today you are not even conceived (at least not to your mummy and daddy's knowledge), but you are loved. Your daddy and I pray for you every night. We pray for you to be healthy, smart and kind. We pray that you'll be happy and willing to help other. I pray that you'll have your daddy's pretty blue eyes, and he hopes you get my nose. I also pray that you get my ability to listen.
We have been praying and hoping for you for almost 9.5 months. It's almost unbelievable to me that int he time we're been waiting for you, you could already be here. We try to be patient and confident in God's promise to us, but it is so hard. All I've ever wanted is your daddy and you. The two of you are and will be the most important people in the world to Mummy. I can't wait to meet you, Baby. I look forward to the day that you are in my arms. My heart fill with so much love just thinking about it. I can't wait to sing songs to you. Hopefully, they will be better than the songs I currently sing to your cousin E. I know you've already heard it. I just need to keep the faith you'll be here. Mummy and Daddy hope it's soon.

With all the love in the world,

Mummy

I don't write a lot to Maybe, but I hope that one day Maybe will look back on these letters and realise the he or she was loved even before he or she was conceived. I try to write about things that are going on in our lives. I tell Maybe about the weather, things I hope we can do in the future. I've even written Maybe a letter about something bad that happened. The days I write about are days that Maybe will never experience so I want to capture those days for him or her. Our maybe baby is already such a part of our lives that I want him or her to know about them. In fact, I'm going to write Maybe another letter now telling him or her about G's last doctor's appointment. I'll write about it here soon.
