the beginning

Dear Baby,

This is a compilation of brief love notes written to you, expressing the journey my heart went on for the nine months leading up to your birth. Knowing this would be my last experience with pregnancy, I wanted to be especially sensitive to my emotional, spiritual, and physical state in an attempt to someday reminisce back over all of it with you.

I love you #dearbaby.

Love,
Mommy.
