Dear peanut,

mommy is writing this letter to you while you're still just a dream and there's a spot reserved for you in my heart. i have been dreaming of you since i was a little girl. playing with my dollies as if they were my own baby, feeding them, changing their pretend dipers, changing their tiny little clothes. ever since then i couldn't wait until i was old enough to have you in my tummy. although mommy thought the big bird, the stock, would drop you off in a big diper or you would appear in mommys tummy magically. now, many years later mommy is still dreaming of you and waiting to feel grow in my tummy. i cant wait to see that positive pregnancy test to tell me you're on the way, to hear your heart beat for the first time. and knowing that your safe and warm and growing, to see your first picture while still growing in mommy and to find out if you're going to be a boy or girl. then the amazing moment when i first feel you move. until then, i think it will still seem like a dream but the first kick you give me to let me know you're there will be the most beautiful moment of my life. while mommy waits for you to finish growing, i will be getting ready for your arrival. ill be getting your nursing ready, will be picking out your crib and all the other things to make you nice and comfy and safe in your home. ill be searching for the perfect outfit for you to come home from the hospital in and all the onesies, and pajamas, bibs, and so many other items, each and every one picked with love. soon, it will be time for you to enter this beautiful world. i will cherish every moment we have together. watching you grow, seeing that first smile, learning to crawl, seeing you walk for the first time and so many other milestones. i wish i could freeze each and every one of those moments in time but seeing you grow is a precious gift.

so, my dear baby, mommy cant wait till she is finally blessed from god to have you in her tummy, so i can hold you in my arms, next to my heart, where you will always be.

i love you

Sincerely,

your mother (to-be)
