Dear Baby,

I've just discovered that you exist.  A shiver went through me as I realized my life would no longer be the same with your new life just beginning.  My mind knows that you are just a collection of rapidly dividing cells, not larger than the width of a dime, but my soul feels like you contain the beauty of the entire universe.  You are indeed a miracle, my miracle, your father's miracle.  You can't possibly know how much we already love you, and how curious we already are about you.  Your dad even asked, "When do we know how healthy the baby is?"  We are going to think about you, worry about you, wonder about you, and learn everything we can about you each and every day.  You don't know it, but we are already talking to you and hoping that you'll feel as happy to be  our child as we already are being your parents.  I promise that we will do our best to take care of you, be there for you, and help you grow into the amazing person you are meant to be; of course we will make mistakes and we hope you'll forgive us.  We realize this is just the beginning, and you're still our little secret, but we are thrilled beyond description about you and all the changes coming our way.

All my love,
Mama
