As a mother, I have found that there are few things in the world that make us feel the accumulation of emotions that we experience in pregnancy. Actually, I dare say that there is nothing that compares with the feelings we experience at this stage .
One of the things that as mothers we begin to feel even before having our children in our arms, is love for them. For this reason, from my personal experience, today I share a letter with which I hope those who are expecting a baby will identify .
Letter to my unborn baby
Dear child,
Although it may seem strange to speak with this affection to someone that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting, today I want to dedicate a few words to you that try to express everything that I am feeling at this moment.
It is true that we have not yet been able to exchange glances, but when I think of you I feel as if I have known you all my life . How not to do it, if I carry you inside of me?
Right now, you and I share more than the same space. I am in you and you are in me, physically and emotionally. We have a very special, unique and incomparable bond , and that is one of the privileges that only mothers have the opportunity to experience.
Feeling that you move inside my belly, is to feel a million butterflies loaded with emotion, love and of course, a lot of illusion . I like to think that that happiness that invades me when I feel you, you also feel it.
There is little that I can see of you in the ultrasounds, but my mind is in charge of imagining what you look like. I imagine how your face, your eyes, your little hands and your little legs must be . I also imagine how those tiny feet will be that I will fill with kisses when I finally have you in my arms.
I try to be patient and enjoy each day that you live in me, seeing how my belly grows week by week and month by month. But to be honest, I can’t wait to meet you! I still can’t hug you, but I already feel immense love for you.
Soon you will arrive at a home full of love, which will take care of you as our greatest treasure. Meanwhile, I will continue talking to you and responding with caresses to those tender kicks that you give me.
Sometimes I wonder how something so small, and still unknown, can make me feel this love so great and strong. What I do know is that regardless of whether there is much or little left to meet, the mere fact of waiting for you makes me immensely happy .
With love, mom.
