So, my husband and I decided we would each write a letter to our unborn child and place each letter in our son/daughters nursery when they are born. I wrote mine when I was around 7 weeks pregnant and my husband sent me his last night. I cried my eyes out when I read his letter. I am the luckiest woman on the planet to be having this wonderful blessing of a child and to also be blessed with a husband who loves me and our baby so very much. I know hes going to be a wonderful father.
Here is Matts letter to Kayden or Devin.
To my little seamonkey,
As I’m writing this, you’re growing stronger and stronger inside your mommy’s belly. I can’t tell you how blessed I feel to know that you’re on your way into our lives. You will be loved and cherished more than any baby I know.
Your mommy and I have been trying to make a baby for a long time, and we hadn’t had any success. We tried and tried and prayed and prayed, but nothing happened. Then, after we had given up hope and had been looking to adopt a child, your mommy was feeling funny and decided to check and see if she was pregnant. Well, we found out she was, and we were so happy.
After that, your mommy and you gave us a bit of a scare when she thought she was going to lose you. So, we took her to the doctor to find out what was wrong. Everything seemed fine, but some stuff that was needed to help you grow was at a low level. So, mommy was told to rest for a few days to see if the counts would double. Not only did they double, they nearly tripled. I knew you’d show everyone. You’re a little trooper.
Mommy was still scared for you though because she had lost a baby before. So, the day of our first ultrasound came and we were worried that you wouldn’t be doing well because of how mommy had been before. Well, you showed everyone again how special you were. Your heart rate was 155 and you were sitting and posing in mommy’s belly. It was like you were trying to say, “Look at me and how awesome I am”. You are an awesome baby, and you’re only going to get more awesome as the years go by.
So, if you ever think that we don’t care or love you. We do with all our hearts. You’re our little fighter. You’re our little blessing. You’re our proof that God’s Will be done. He gave you to us just when we needed you, and we couldn’t ask for anything more. You are our world. You’re everything that’s good in mommy and me all rolled up into one little package. We love you with everything we have.
Love Always,
Your Daddy
And here is my letter to baby :)
To my little Angel,
Before you were ever born, you were loved so so very much. You are a miracle your father
and I thought would never happen. Just when we had given up hope, a pregnancy test showed two littlepink lines, and there you were.
You were wished for, hoped for, prayed for, dreamed of, and waited for. Your father and I tried
for some time to create you, and even went through fertility testing to try and find out why you never showed up. But thats because, God saved you for us for just the right time.
While I am writing this, I dont know whether youre going to be a little boy or a little girl, but I do know you're going to be amazing. You're already so independent at only seven weeks old. You're already not afraid to let mommy know what you want and are a pretty demanding baby.
I have been very sick with you, but you are so worth every minute.
I already know youre going to have a lot of fight inside you... just like me your Mommy.
More than likely you will be a little spit-fire, and thats okay, it means your passionate.
Always use your passion in life for good, for motivation, not ever for anger or revenge.
I will tell you a little story. From day one, you werent the type of kid to just throw in the towel and give up. Three days after I found out I was pregnant with you, I was at the Emergency Room with complications. You had us very very scared. My hormone levels were low with you to the point they thought we might lose you. It was devestating to your daddy and myself. They told us they were going to watch us to see if the hormone levels increased. They needed the hormone levels to double, and well that wasnt enough for you. You showed them. It tripled. And for that I am already proud of you and your'e not even here yet. I know your'e going to do amazing things.
You are a wonderful blessing from God, a true gift.
I feel in a way I already know the kind of person youre going to be just from carrying you around in my tummy. I know that sounds silly, but I play music for you every night and Daddy and I talk to you every day. I just know youre going to be an amazing, inspring, smart little individual.
I cant wait to meet you and hold you in my arms. Your daddy and I are both so ecstatic that you
are on your way into our lives. You are our greatest creation. And you were made, very much from love. With that being said, I hope you know your daddy and I want the best for you out of life. I wish you love.. the kind of love your daddy and I have for one another and the kind of love that my parents had.
I wish you happiness.. the kind that comes from deep down, that no one can take away from you. I wish you confidence, and strength. Confidence in yourself, and the strength to do whats right when given the decision. The strength to get back up when life knocks you down, and it will,but I promise to always be there to help you back up and to comfort you when your'e sad.
I promise to support your dreams and your creativity and to love you unconditionally.
I know youre going to be wonderful, and I am counting down the days until I get to meet you
and see your beautiful tiny smile.
You are and always have been my dream.
Love always and forever,
Your Mommy.
