Hello Baby,

When mommy first knew that she was conceiving, I must admit that I felt really scared, confused and worried. A lot of questions were running through my head. Will your dad accept us? Will my parents (your grandparents) disown me? Will we able to survive the entire nine months? Should I stop working? How will I tell my boss? Will I be a good mom to you? And so many more questions that some, up to this day are not yet answered.

Well, we are very lucky, your dad accepted us without any doubt. I know that even if he rarely says it, he loves you very much. I know that our setup today is very much different from what society dictates, but we are happy and very much willing to give you all the love and care in the whole world. And I know in time, when both of us are ready, we will be able to give you the family that you rightfully deserve.

Your grandparents are no different. They are very much excited to see you. Being their first grandchild, they’re getting ready for your arrival – especially your grandma, who by the way does not want to be called grandma, but "mamita" and I’m just like, whatever ma. LOL.

Tita Gie and Tita April are equally excited as well. Tita Gie will be giving you a stroller so that you will be able to go around town easily. On the other hand, your Tita April will be giving you your crib. But I think the most excited person (aside from mom and dad, of course) is your Kuya Kyle. He can’t wait to share you his toys and push your trolley. He is sooo anxious to meet you that he wants you to come out next week. But please, baby I beg you, we still have a couple of weeks to go, I don’t want you being born pre-mature.

Now, about me being a good mom to you, we still have to see once you come out. It’s my first time you see, so pardon your mommy if there will be times that I will be crying because I would not know what to do, but I just pray that and hope that I will be the best mom to you.

Love,

Your Mama

PS

I can’t wait to see you! J
