Mother Why?


Hi there big girl, I'm that person that is growing inside you.  I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to worry about me.  I'll be with you soon so don't worry.  OK?  I'm just hanging around in here till I can see you and daddy.  I can't wait to be with you and play with you.  I know you will take care of my needs.  I'll try to be a good kid to you for I know you have been waiting for me for a long time.  I want to be out of here so I can grow with you and play.  All I can do here is sleep and stretch.  So I have some questions to ask you , why do I have to wait so long to be with you? Why do you worry so much about me, I'll be there as soon as I can.  I just want you to be happy about me coming to you for I'm very excited about it.  Mother why worry--I'm yours---just be patient, I love you. Don't worry

WE SHALL WIN

As I sit and wonder
plead and beg...
I can only wonder
what goes on inside
your tiny head.

God has given us,
yet once more
another chance to bring
a child into this world.

Ryan and Gretchen were taken
way too soon, I pray that
you'll stay around
and become a healthy bloom.

With each movement, kick or flutter...
My heart skips a beat,
and brings you
one day closer.

Hold on and hang tight,
with the love of mother to daughter---
we shall win this fight.
