Sixth Letter to My Little One

In this letter, we chose to discuss a song that was "stuck" in our heads. The moment we heard this song, we knew that it described our journey to get our firstborn child. At the time, we had no idea that we were so close to finding out we were, indeed, pregnant!

Isn't it amazing how easily a song can become your theme song for that particular period of time?!?!?

*Update on 10/17/13: I didn't realize how much this song would come to mean to me. I played this song for the duration of my pregnancy. It was also my song of choice while I was in labor. To this day, I can't hear this song without crying! How has music impacted your life?

My Little One,

Prior to finding out we were expecting you, your father and I had picked out a song for you. We had heard it at a friend’s wedding for the first time (well, the first time we actually listened to the words, it is also played in the Twilight movie series) and felt like it summed up our feelings for you. At the time, we had been undergoing several tests to find out if we could have children. We were also speaking with the doctors about starting medication that would increase our chance of pregnancy. We had no idea when we heard the song that we would be blessed with the news that you would come into existence a mere few weeks later!

CHRISTINA PERRI - A THOUSAND YEARS

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for aThousand years
I'll love you for aThousand more

Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away what's standing in front of me

Every breath, Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for aThousand years
I'll love you for a Thousand more

And all along
I believed I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a Thousand years
I'll love you for aThousand more
One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for aThousand years
I'll love you for aThousand more
And all along I believedI would find you
Time has brought Your heart to me
I have loved you for aThousand years
I'll love you for a Thousand more
                                                                                                       

Love You Always,

Mommy and Daddy
