A Letter to My Little One

To my precious little one,

  We haven't met yet. But in my prayers, I talk to God about you every day. I pray for the little person you will grow to become and for the precious woman who is carrying you right now- in her arms or in her tummy.

  I don't know if you will come to me as a newborn, a 6 month old, or a toddler. But what I do know is that the moment I meet you, I will love you with all of my heart.

  My little one, you are a chosen baby. Your daddy and I prayed many months about making the decision to choose you. We still aren't finished with all of the classes and paperwork to be able to meet you, but that will go by quickly. And soon, I will be rocking you in our comfy rocking chair.

  Your daddy is so excited to meet you. He is brand new to this whole baby thing (I work with them almost every day) so he is practicing. He practices wrapping my baby dolls so that one day he can swaddle you warm and tight. He holds little babies at church so one day he can hold you and comfort you in his big, strong arms. Your daddy prays for you every day...and is already so in love with you.

 

  And I am already head over heels in love with you! As a nurse who works with babies all the time, I get to hold, feed, swaddle, and comfort many other peoples' babies, but I can't wait for the day when I can do all of those things for my baby- you! I can't wait to take you for walks, read you bedtime stories, and sing sweet lullabies to you as you fall asleep in my arms. You are a gift from God and will always hold a special place in my heart.

  My dear, sweet little one. Your room is ready, our hearts are growing with anticipation to meet you and love you, and we can't wait to see what God is going to do in and through you, our chosen baby. We will continue to pray daily for you and patiently wait until the day we meet.

I love you.

Love,
 Your Mommy
