Only We Know

Wrote this right after I found out I was pregnant back in January. I decided to go ahead and share it, Im sure a lot of mommies have had the same thoughts.




Dear baby,

As I walked into target yesterday to pick up some dry erase markers for my classroom, a thought entered my mind: how can something be consuming all my thoughts, be the focus of my day dreams, be the most wonderful thing to ever happen to me... And no one around me has any idea. The people I pass in the store, the person ringing up my markers... They don't know. I have life inside me. They don't know that a miracle is happening as we speak. They don't know how much I love you already. Only we know, baby.

I walk into work and bid good morning to my fellow teachers, greet my students, welcome their hugs and think, "there's two of us you're hugging, sweet second grader". But only we know, baby.

At church, I sing from the stage during worship service. I look out in the congregation and see the people singing praises to The Lord and wonder... Do you hear them singing too, Little One? They don't know you're there yet. Only we know, baby.

I'm excited to share our news. I know my mom will cry with joy, our church family will be so happy for us, you'll have lots of people that will be praying for you and loving you. But for now, I kind of like having this secret between us.

This secret that only we know, baby.

Love, your Mommy




Thanks for reading :)

Have a wonderful day.
