To my unborn baby

Dear Dylan,

I have not seen you, but I know you. I am aware of you constantly now as you move and grow inside me. I have not met you, but I love you. Though you are not born, you are part of our family. Your sister calls you by name and gives you kisses. We can feel you moving from the outside. While you were not part of our original family plan, God had a better plan in mind. He is forming you and creating you at this very moment, during this time period, for something great. Your purpose is beyond what we can even imagine. You are special. You are valuable. You are an asset to our family and to the world. Each passing day brings us closer to your arrival. Kadence is already asking when you are going to be born. We are all anxious to meet you. We still have four more months. Four more months for you to grow and develop; four more months for us to love you; four  more months until someone aside from me can hold you. We are so excited to meet you, baby Dylan, but I am enjoying the time when it’s just you and me. I treasure your kicks and wiggles, I love seeing my belly expand. I love getting to know you before I get to meet you. I love you, sweet baby Dylan.

“…children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” John 1:13
