Dear Blip,
You are almost six whole months old. You have changed so much since the night I first met you. You were so tiny...and perfect. I couldn't believe we created such a perfect little boy.
I have loved you since the second we saw the "flash" on the monitor...showing us two embryos had been transferred...and for the first time, we had real hope.
I was even more in love with you when I saw you for the first time during an ultrasound at 4 1/2 weeks...you were my tiny Blip on that screen.
I loved you each time I felt you moving inside of me. Pain or no pain...I really loved knowing you were growing and developing. Watching my belly grow was something else. I was so proud to carry you.
The second I held you for the first time...that's when I thought I loved you most. I couldn't remember ever feeling so much love, peace, and pure joy. Those moments were the best in my life.
Boy, was I wrong. After these months have passed so quickly, I think I love you a little more each and every day. Each new experience. Each new expression. Each newly learned task. Each time you look at me. Each time you laugh. That giggle provides a deeper love each time I hear it.
I love you, Baby Boy. I love that you know I'm your momma...and I love watching you love your dad. You'll probably think we are both completely nuts until you have a child of your own. We didn't know what to expect, or why our parents were so crazy. Now we know. That's okay...it was worth waiting for.
Love,
Your mom
