Dear Little One,
From the moment you announced your presence as the word
“Pregnant” fluttered onto the tiny screen of the test I held in my shaking
hand, my world was forever changed. We had dreamed of you for so long, but I
didn’t really truly expect you to come so soon. I crumpled to the floor, looked
up through the window at the dark grey sky, and whispered two words. “Thank
You”.
Just hours later when
I held your Daddy’s hand and led him out onto the dock where he asked me to
marry him only a couple of years ago, my heart pounded so loud I was sure he
would hear it. I knelt down and pulled out a small case. “I have a question to
ask you. Will you be a daddy?” As his eyes flashed from confusion to shock to
joy, I opened the case the reveal the test. Instantly he was on his knees on
that dock, his hands cradling my belly where you were growing just beneath my
skin. He held me and we prayed, as we thanked the Lord for the spectacular gift
that is you.
I imagine you sometimes in the middle of the night. I hope
you have your daddy’s nose. I picture you with tiny blond wisps of hair like
your daddy, my elfish ears, and the sparkly blue eyes that both your mommy and
daddy share.
I can’t wait to meet you, baby mine. I love you.
Waiting for you,
Mama
