It seems amazing to me how quickly the first (almost) half of this pregnancy has gone, and I'm trying to treasure the time spent growing this baby and preparing for him or her to irrevocably change my life. Without further ado, my early pregnancy ramblings to the tiny life inside me.
September 28, 2013
Dear child of mine,
We found out you were growing inside of me today. I think I
did a double take at the pregnancy test because I have peed on quite a few of
those sticks, and they’ve always been negative before. You are so wanted and
loved already. I’m not sure that there are words adequate to describe how
joyful I am right now that you’re going to be part of our family.
I’m not sure if it’s fully sunk in that I’m really
pregnant-that God is knitting together a baby inside me-yet. You’re an actively
pursued dream come true, and we are so excited!
I’m so excited to meet you, but please for now just settle
in and make yourself safe and comfortable inside me for the next several
months. We’re hoping to meet you sometime around our fourth wedding
anniversary. How cool is that? You have been prayed over and loved and
daydreamed about since I fell in love with your daddy, and I have wanted to be
a mom since I was a little girl. Honestly, my picture of who you are has
changed through the years, but the love and the prayers have just kept
multiplying.
I don’t know much about you yet since I only found out that
you exist this morning, but I have a few very important things that I want you
to know. I will always love you. I’m not perfect, but I’m saved by the grace of
Jesus, and your daddy and I are going to figure this parenthood thing out while
relying on His mercy. You have a heavenly and an earthly father who both love
you more than you can imagine.
Nestle in, baby. All my love,
Your momma
