The Whole 9 Yards

Today is February 9, 2023 and you are already 26 weeks old in my womb. Last night, mommy was crying in the shower and you were kicking so hard and I knew you were telling me that you are here for me… cause you literally are “here”, growing inside me. Of course, all that kicking worked. If there’s anything more comforting than the sound of your heartbeat, it is feeling you move.

Mommy’s going to be retaking the LSAT on Saturday, and aside from the stress of studying, there’s a lot of other things going on. A lot of rationalizing going on, putting aside my pride to keep the peace with other people and the peace in this household. But I have to let that all go to put my full focus on my upcoming test. This test is very important to mommy because this is what will get me to my dream.

My darling Amelia, I want to share with you that it has been my lifelong dream to become a lawyer. Prior to having you, my life revolved around achieving this goal. I was driven by my ambition and passion to serve other people, and more specifically, children. Now that you’re here I am more driven by you. I have to show you that dreams come true. So you know that you can be whatever/whoever you want to be in this life. I will teach you to dream big, work hard, and ofcourse have lots of fun along the way.

My Amelia, I want you to grow up in full confidence that the world is for your taking.

I love you with all my heart. I’m so excited to hold you.

Mommy
