To the unborn baby that will one day call me momma...

Dear sweet baby,
One day you will understand the love that is in my heart for you-even if you aren't growing inside my body. The woman who is raising you during the first nine months of your life is such a brave woman. She may not be able to give you the life she would have liked to, but she is giving you an opportunity to be raised by two people who will love you unconditionally until the day we die.

I am so excited that one day I will see your ten fingers and feel them wrapping around my finger and eventually, as you grow, feel them wrapped around my hand. I can't wait to tickle your ten toes and watch as you begin to take those first precious steps and begin walking down the path God has created for you. I imagine staring into your eyes and watching as they sparkle with joy and learning to help calm away the tears and saddness when your heart breaks as mine has until you became a possibility.

So as you grow inside this brave young woman, please always know that I have been waiting for you and looking forward to the day when you will call me momma for as long as I can remember. You are my testiment that God doesn't always answer our prayers in the way we think He will. He answers them in a way that is perfect and gives Him the most glory. It is only through him that you and I are being brought together.

Grow well, my dear precious baby! It won't be long until we meet.

Forever,
Your Momma
