I have been overwhelmed with nothing but excitement, love, and JOY (with a little stress and worry) over the little life I'm carrying around. So, I decided to sit down and write a letter to my baby full of wishes for him/her and just to say how excited I am to have them in my life!
"To my sweet baby,
I am writing you this letter at only 14 weeks pregnant. You are already my angel, my whole life, and I cannot imagine how much more I can love you already. The next 5 3/4 months are going to seem so slow because of my excitement to finally meet you! I can hardly stand it! I do have a few wishes for you:
The first: never be afraid to reach for your goals and your dreams. Nothing is too big....or too small. If you are driven and you put your whole body, soul, and mind into it, anything is possible. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something because the minute you do, you have failed yourself. Always know I am here to support you nomatter what. If that means supporting you through your Presidency of the United States or flipping burgers at McDonalds, I will stand by you and be PROUD of you for MAKING yourself HAPPY!
The second: Always know I love you unconditionally. You will make plenty of mistakes and disappoint me more than I care to admit, but I want you to always know that you can tell me anything. I am your mother first, but I am also your friend and your biggest fan. I will never push you away for any reason, so I don't want you to push me away. I would rather you tell me your thoughts and let me help you through them, than think something stupid, act on it, and then have me punish you for your actions.
The third: Always put God first, family second, friends third, and yourself last, but always LOVE yourself! Trust and believe in yourself and know that you are a BEAUTIFUL soul inside and out. Don't let anyone put you down.
Stay strong in your FAITH, always HOPE for the best, and above all else, LOVE as truly and as deeply as you can.
I love you forever unconditionally, my sweet angel.
Love,
Mommy
