We Chose Life – You Are the Most Precious Blessing to Us

This is my first pregnancy; my husband is currently serving in the U.S. Navy. We found out we were having a baby right after we got married and only minutes before he had to leave for the duration of the pregnancy. We feel like this is our little miracle child, as we were not even sure conception was possible with us, and through my darkest moments with him being away knowing there’s a life inside of me, a part of both him and I has given me the strength to grow and become the mother God always imagined me to be.

Our Dearest Little Blueberry,
What a miracle you have become in our lives. Your mommy and daddy love you more than any words could ever truly capture. We had just celebrated the most wonderful moment in our lives, our wedding day. We were moving along, preparing for the fast approaching day that your daddy would be leaving us to serve our country. I was devastated to see him go; he’s my best friend you see. In a moment that I will never forget we found out that God had blessed us with you. You see, little one, we didn’t think we’d be able to have children. The doctor’s had told me it might be a long and painful journey. You are our miracle. It’s incredible to me how one minute you can be walking through your life feeling happy and content, and then you discover everything you previously thought made you happy paled in comparison to the joyful moment you become a parent. You have made our lives complete. The thought of what we would have ever done without you seems unimaginable. You are the most miraculous gift that God has ever blessed us with. It hasn’t been an easy road. With daddy gone, there have been some dark days, for both him and me. He loves you so much baby, every letter we receive talks about how proud he is, and how excited he is to be your papa. I hope that you always know how much he loves you, and how special you are to him, no matter how far away he may be. He’s our hero little one. You give us the strength to keep going, to be the best that we can be, for you. We have so many dreams for you sweet little baby, so many wonderful memories to make with you. We already know you sleep like me and you look like the most glorious combination of your daddy and I that we could ever have thought possible. Feeling another life inside of you, a little flutter, and a tiny kick. Knowing that you have already changed us completely and made us better, watching as you grow and change each and every day is the most incredible experience we have ever had. You have given us so much, and you fill our hearts up to the brim with love and gratitude! It is impossible not to be in awe of the power of God when you carry a life inside of you. You are the most precious blessing to us, and we cannot wait to see the amazing person you become. Thank you for being so special baby. Always know that you are surrounded by our love, and that we are thankful every single day that God gave you to us.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
