Lately I’ve been feeling extremely overwhelmed about my feelings for you. Maybe it’s because of this life-changing time in our lives...the wait for our first child. Maybe it’s because we weren’t together for long before I got pregnant, I’m not sure the exact reason but lately every time I see you I need to hug you. I need to thank you for everything you do. I couldn’t imagine going through such a big change with anyone else.

Thank you for being you. It sounds like such a cliche statement, but it truly sums up exactly how I feel. I know my pregnancy has brought new feelings, new ideas, new goals, and new fears to the surface, but I don't believe that you've "stepped up" to meet my needs, I believe you are only being yourself, and that the nurturing compassion you have shown is really just you shining your brightest just when I need it most.

You are special, and I realize that; I knew it the first time you held my hand. Not many people would be so supportive in our situation but you’ve handled it with grace and have been there every step of the way.

I'm so lucky to have you. I, sometimes, feel sorry for other girls, because as much as I hope that everyone has a partner as wonderful as you, I'm positive many don't. If only they could experience your love for a day, they wouldn't settle for anything less. I now I look back at my past relationships and wonder how I ever let myself get treated so badly. You are such a darling! You have a natural ability to care for others, and I really try not to take that for granted, but it seems effortless. Whether it's running out late at night to buy a bag of chips for me because you know I won't be okay until I eat at least one, or when you just gaze at my growing belly and I notice a sparkle in your eye; a look that is full of happiness, excitement, and the purest joy, any of these things, no matter how big or how small, remind me that you are the love of my life.

You are much more than I could have hoped for, significantly more than I deserve. I have never felt happier than I have during these past months spent with you, this is one of the most special times we may ever experience. Everyday, you are watching my belly grow, but what you can't see is that with each day that passes my heart fills with more and more love for you, and I only hope that I make you feel it.

Thank you for being you, and for filling my life with so much joy. I hope our child is full of as much compassion, brains, and love as its daddy. You truly are one-of-a-kind babe, I’m so lucky to have you by my side everyday.

I'll love you until I expire,

The mother of your child
