28.5 Weeks

Dear Baby,

I'm already worrying about you. I worry about your health and hope you're growing strong and have all the nutrients you need. I worry that you'll want to see the world before you're ready. My back hurts, I have a headache, my feet are swollen, and I worry that the stress I feel in my body and life, you feel too.

I just hope that you can feel the good stuff too: the happiness when a stranger smiles at us, the wonderment I feel when you move and kick, the soft music that's playing now as we sit quietly together, just you and me.

Love you,

Mom xoxo
