The day that changed my life

Dear Baby,

April 24, 2008 was the day that changed my life. It was the day that I found out you were growing inside me! I wasn’t expecting you’d be there–in fact, I felt as if my “monthly visitor” was imminent, even though she was a tad late. But, I had a nagging suspicion, and thought I’d take a test to be sure.

I couldn’t tell if the first test I took had two lines, or if it was my imagination. I hurried to the store, bought another test, and tried again. Sure enough, yep, you were there!

For the first few weeks of your development, you were growing, and I had absolutely no idea.

But God knew. He knew you were there. He put you there. In fact, the Bible says He knew you before you were even created.

He knows your name, what you’ll look like, what your personality will be like, and even how many hairs are growing on your head. He knows your children’s children’s children! Pretty incredible.

Before any human knew of your existence, you were loved. Now that your parents know about you, we love you, too. You have an entire family praying for you–a family that can’t wait to meet you and love you.

I can’t wait to meet you either–though I’m doing my best to be patient. You know what? I’ve never ever been excited for winter to come. I don’t like the cold or snow. But this year will be different. If all goes well, we expect to meet you around the end of December or early January. I couldn’t think of a better Christmas gift!

Love,

Mama
