Dear Baby S,

It’s hard to believe that in one year from now when Christmas is here, you could be almost walking. I know you’ll love the magic of the season as much as we do. I also can’t believe that last Christmas at this time you were still just in our hopes and prayers. In just a few weeks we would be getting our box of medicine, shots, and calendar. In just a few weeks we would start our journey to hopefully become parents. That journey wouldn’t be easy, which we knew. In just a couple months we would take our first pregnancy test after IVF and learn that it didn’t work. For reasons that we’ll never know, we lost those embryos. We’d try it again in just a few months after that with our last 2 embryos. One we’d lose. But YOU, our little embryo that could, would start off as just 2 pink lines. YOU, our little embryo that could, would finally give us the names we’ve been wanting to hear for so long: Mommy and Daddy. YOU, our little embryo that could, are our miracle. YOU are our hopes and dreams. And we can’t wait to meet YOU oh so soon. 

Love, Mommy

P.s if you could stop kicking me in the ribs, that’d be great! 😉
