Letter to my Child

Dear Baby-
I know you are out there past the Rainbow Bridge, waiting for the perfect moment for you to enter our lives. I want you to know we are waiting patiently for you, and that I'm eager to begin my journey of pregnancy with you. I've been making space, both physically and emotionally for you. I imagine what events will be like to experience with a new little baby in our family. You are already loved, and I look forward to sharing the joy of that love with you, and with your brother and sister. They are very eager to welcome you as a sibling.

Even though your journey into being isn't what I expected it to be, I am so grateful for what I've experienced in the past few months. I've learned so much about my body and about myself. I've found so much JOY in everyday living. I am learning to be patient. I understand that patience is important.

You know your timeline. You know the perfect moment to join our family, and I now fully let go and release all my worries and concerns about your conception and birth. I already know you exist, and I trust you will find the perfect time to connect with me on this side of the veil. I'm so excited, because it isn't happening on "my" timing.... which can only mean your conception and birth will be even better than I could have planned. How wonderful!

I look forward to the day when I know you are here with me, growing inside me. I look forward to feeling you move in my womb; I look forward to the time when we will be both doing the hard work of labor; to bring you out into the world. I look forward to holding you, touching you, nursing you.

And if you decide that this amazing journey is one that you can't make alone, I welcome the opportunity to be blessed with twins. I have an amazing support system and know that the two of you will be well loved and cared for.

Join me in my dreams; let us be together in that special time when my mind can wander close to your home. Know that you live now in my heart; I will wait patiently until it's the right time for you to join me here physically.

I think of you often and it brings me peace.
I think of you often and it brings me joy.
I think of you often and I think of love.

Until the day you cross over the Rainbow Bridge-
Your ever loving mother-
Amy a.k.a. Mama
