Letters to Vivien

Dearest Vivien,

With only a few weeks (or maybe a few days) away from you and I finally meeting each other, I'm overwhelmed with so many emotions. These past nine months have been the most exciting few months of my life.

I feel suddenly sad thinking that soon I won't be feeling you kick, move or squirm inside me. Very soon I will no longer be patting my belly when you get the hiccups. Very soon you won't be waking me up with sudden jolts. Very soon I won't be rolling out of bed to make a dash to the toilet to pee for the 7th time that night. I think I'll even miss my swollen feet, dry skin and joint pain.

While all of these things will be missed, I am completely ready to embrace all the new crazy experiences you will bring into my life. I can't wait to hold you. I can't wait to feel you in my arms. I can't wait to smell your sweet scent. And I can't wait to look into your eyes for the first time.

This has been an incredible journey for me and I'm ready to embark on this new chapter in my life; being your mother. While I can't plan out when you decide to come into this world, I just want you to know that I'm ready and waiting for you.

With all my love,



 
Your Mother
