A Letter To My Future Donor Conceived Child: Bre's Letter

Hey Baby,

I have had trouble starting this letter not knowing what to say…. But today I got to see you.  I saw that you are real and that you growing.  

We have worked so hard to get you.  It’s been years and now it feels like it’s finally happening.  I can not wait to see what you look like. I can not wait to hear your first cry and feel your touch. Your little fingers and toes. 

I think about you all the time now.  There is not 1 minute that goes by that I don’t think about you and worry how you are doing and what you are doing.  Get used to that, because I think that is going to be the way it goes from here on out.

I am amazed that you are going to continue to grow inside of me, and be here because of me.  Selfishly, I am so happy that right now you are all mine.  But one day you will be here, and you will be all you.  

You… made with the help of so people, you lucky duck!  Daddy, a lady named ACK, me, a lab of people and a doctor who placed you exactly where you should be to grow healthy, strong and stay safe for 40 weeks.  It feels long now, but in the scheme of life, it is nothing and you are going to be here lighting up our lives and creating your own.

You are so loved, so wanted and are going to do amazing things.  We are connected right now- just you and me.  I will not let you down.  I am here for you always.  

Love, Mom
