Dear Daughter
Dear Daughter,
Hello, Sweetheart. I don't know if you can hear me, but you seem to
respond when I laugh or hear Daddy talk. So I'm going to assume that
you can for just a little bit.
Tomorrow is a big day for you
because it is your birthday! I know it's probably not what you're
expecting. I know you'd rather hang out in your hot tub for a few more
days or weeks, even. But this is hopefully the ONLY time in your life
that diabetes will affect a moment in yours. I did my best to give you
the proper place to grow for the past 9 months, but the doctor thinks
it's best for you and me if you came out now. Don't be scared. They
are the very best and they will keep an eye on you and me the whole
time. Then I'll get to hold you just as I have been this whole time,
only this time it will be with my hands rather than my belly.
One thing I want you to know more than anything is that you are so SO
wanted! What started out as a silent prayer said at Cocoa Beach,
Florida turned into your heartbeat a few days later. You are so strong!
From your fast heartbeat at every appointment to the kicks and jabs
you give me, you've proven to me and your dad that you like to make your
presence known. I can't wait to get to know you! Your dad is in love
with you already, and he is so excited to meet you. Lean on him for
love and encouragement, he will freely give it. We will do our best to
teach you about your Heavenly Father who loves you more than we do, if
you can believe that!
I'm so anxious to meet you, and I can't wait to hold you. I love you so much!
Love,
Your Mommy
Aww.. That's so sweet... <3 I'm sure everything will be fine and before you know it you will be holding your little girl in your arms! I wish you all the best from the depths of my heart.. Mantha
