Dear Future Child

Dear future child(ren) of mine,
I want you to know that I can’t wait to feel you inside me and then hold you in my arms. To look you in your perfect eyes and kiss your flawless little cheeks. The idea of you brings tears to my eyes. Very happy tears. Your dad and I have discussed you many times and each time it has been special.  We try to guess what you’ll be like.  What you’ll look like. If you’ll be picky like your dad or up for anything like your mom.  If you’ll have his nose and my chin. Most importantly we talk about what it will be like to have you to complete our family.  You are already loved more than can be expressed in words. 

We don’t care if you’re male of female. And honestly we don’t know when we’ll be ready to have you,  but we know we are going to love you.  I can’t wait to teach you everything.  To hold you in my arms, to kiss every inch of you.  To comfort you in every way. I want you to know that you may not have everything you think you want in life, but I promise we will give you everything you need. 
I promise to love you unconditionally.  I promise to have patience when it seems impossible.  I promise to protect you.  I promise to care for you and to always be there for you.  I promise to provide for you in every way possible.  I promise to cherish you and every single moment I’m with you. 

The idea of you right now is overwhelming and we’re not quite ready for you yet, but know that I think of you often and really can’t wait to be your mom.

Sincerely,
Your Mom

***Discloser: Cody and I are NOT expecting nor are we planning on expecting anytime soon.  I just thought I would write a letter that my future children will be able to read someday.***
