Beautiful and honest and I promise you, the disconnect will completely vanish the second you smell that baby.
There is something so primal about the smell of your own newborn. That sealed the deal for me. That first night was pure heaven with my little burrito wrapped up next to me sniffing her newborn head. Not that there weren't issues. Trust me. There were. It's a huge, massive adjustment. And clearly I wasn't the birth'en kind. But I would live that moment over and over again if I could.
not sure if the first post went through, but awesome, awesome letter. I'll never get to experience the same thing as a father, but damn, being a parent is awesome.
This is how I feel. Althgough I'm 19 weeks and haven't felt the baby at all. Its really bringing me down. I think you should frame this letter - it's perfect!
Beautiful. I too wrote letters to my unborn babe - then I emailed them to her and didn't look back (yes, I am the crazy person who opened an email account for her fetus!) Your son will one day cherish these letters as precious gifts from a mom who loved him from the very first moment.
In the eighties, I was a little kid who put together model buildings out of notebook paper and Scotch tape and spent days on end playing Monopoly with my best friend. What I've done over the last decade is pretty much the same thing. I began buying, renovating, and renting dozens of properties during Architecture school, where I mostly learned how to stay awake for six days straight.
Today I'm a new mother married with four dogs and way too many houses along the coasts of Florida. We recently moved into and began working on a three story lake house built in 1928.
