Dear Baby
I've loved having you in my belly for the last nine months, right from the first moment I suspected you were in there. It's been truly amazing feeling you grow, feeling my body change to help you grow and then feeling you move for the first time. The first time we got to see you move on the ultrasound I cried and daddy skipped in the car park (when you meet him, you'll realise what a funny sight that was). As you've become bigger and stronger, I've loved knowing when you were awake and asleep, the way you've reacted to my voice, my laughs and cries. You've made me smile the way the way you'll push my arm off if I lean it on my belly - on "your space" for too long, the way you appear to dance to my silly singing when we're in the bath. The day I found out you were a girl I cried, cried because I was so happy. I would have been just as happy if you were a boy, but I loved feeling closer to you, knowing more about you.
But now you're all grown up and it's time to come out. I can feel that you're getting cramped and having trouble finding space for your growing limbs. If you come out, you'll have so much more room to move and grow! I know it's warm and cosy in there, but I promise to keep you warm and safe when you come out into the world. In there you can hear my voice and my heartbeat, but when you come out, I'll keep you close so you'll hear them out here too.
The world out here is exciting. There are so many different things to see, touch, smell, taste and hear. I can't wait to help you explore this world and for you to find your own special place in it. Your daddy and I are very excited about meeting you, seeing what you look like, watching your personality develop, wondering what things you'll like and dislike.
I've loved having you in my belly, but now, I can't wait to have you in my arms. Baby please come out soon.
Love Mummy
