Dear Baby,

I’m hoping you are being conceived right this very minute – or at least in the next few days. Nothing would make me happier.

One day, when you feel like the world is a crappy place and you are angry with me, you are going to say, “I didn’t ask to be born!” (I know, because I used it myself on more than one occassion.) But you know what – I did. Me and your daddy both. And I’ll probably needed to be reminded of that fact a few times. But be nice about it, because believe it or not your mom’s a very sensitive person.

Maybe someday I will let you read all my writing, and you’ll be amazed at what we went through to have you. (And you’ll also say, “Eewwww, MOM, I don’t want to know about you and dad having sex!” Sorry kiddo, that’s just how it works.)

Love, Mama
