80 days left until our due date! To celebrate I thought to start reminding myself of all the little things I can't wait to teach her..... promises to her I guess you could say. I recently stumbled on 100 Promises to Baby by Mallika Chopra and thought it was such a great way to try and recount stories of things in our lives as we wait for her arrival. Promises to her, and promises to myself.
Promise:
Dear Baby Girl,
With each passing day I can't help the building anticipation as I await your arrival. I'm so eager to meet you, see your face, hold your tiny hands. Today, I'm reminded how I must teach you patience. I promise to take a moment to savor all that life has to offer in this very moment. At this very moment your insane kicking gets me all worked up about preparing for you to enter our lives. For now I must be patient, and take one day at a time....and enjoy this moment. I promise to teach you patience so you are reminded that great things can come to those who wait. For what it's worth... waiting... especially waiting without whining will take some practice.
“Let nothing disturb thee; Let nothing dismay thee; All thing pass; God never changes. Patience attains All that it strives for. He who has God Finds he lacks nothing:God alone suffices.” - St. Teresa of Avila
"Never run after a bus or a man. There will always be another one."
It's great that you are doing this! My MIL bought a journal for me after Evan was born so that I could write my thoughts, prayers, and promises to him and then give it to him someday. I love doing that!
