Letter to my Baby Boy

Dear Unborn Child,

When I found out I was pregnant, fear crept into the back of my mind. Actually it exploded inside me. I couldn't even take care of myself. How in the world was I going to take care of a little baby. I knew I wouldn't bring myself to abortion, because it was my responsibility or lack there of that brought you into this world. I'm not a little girl anymore, despite how I still like to think I am. I think you will help me to grow into a stable responsible woman. I want you to have what my mother gave to me. Bless her soul and she even did it alone. You're so lucky to have a father that wants both parents to work it out through thick and thin to provide our children comfortable lives. Cody and I both grew up with only one parent, and it both left us missing something inside. It put stress on us as kids, moving from house to house. We are going to try our hardest so that you'll never have to experience that. No matter how much you drive us crazy. (joke)

We named you Hunter William. I was rolling with a few other names like Patrick or Logan, but your dad really loved Hunter. Figures, it's one of his best hobbies...William is for your great grandpas. One on my side, and one on your dad's. However, it's mainly from Cody's grandpa since he passed away while you were in my tummy on St. Patrick's day. Your dad can tell you how great he was. I've only met him twice, but he was really nice. We hope that you get my brains and your's dad strength. It will be interesting to see how you turn out, because your father and I are so different. Everyone is hoping that you end up with freckles and red hair. It's been awhile in our family since we've had a real ginger. I wouldn't mind if you were a little comedian, as long as you don't pull pranks! My brothers are hilarious with their witty comebacks and it just made living fun! I know your dad is going to get you into sports, football especially, and it doesn't bother me if you hate them. I would rather you be the artistic/creative type. No matter how gay your dad thinks that is. I promise you it's not. You will get a ton of ladies either way(:

It's been a long nine months creating you. I can't wait to take care of you and teach you everything I know. We are going to have so much fun together having Cody as your dad. I can promise you that! We both love you so much! Thank you for giving me a very easy pregnancy. You can head out any hour now!

Love,
Your scared and nervous Mommy
