Letters to Baby

In the baby book that my family bought for me, there is a section for a letter for both the mom and dad to write for the baby - I am assuming for her to read when she is old enough to understand. I planned on writing one for Ed-lie once she is born and I see her for the first time. Have any of you done this? Do you plan to?

Re: Letters to Baby

I wrote one for my DS as soon as I got home from the hospital and I will read it time to time it makes me remember all I had to say to him when he was a few days old and now hes 4 I never wrote one to my DD thanks for writing this its a reminder for me and Im sure I will write one for this baby as well..

Re: Letters to Baby

I have a section in my baby book as well and I plan on writing a letter to keep in the book. I think it will be cool both for me to look back on and read over the years and for my child to one day read it and see how excited I was about their arrival and how much they are loved.

Re: Letters to Baby

Yes, I have written it--in my mind.

DS is 8.5 months, but no letter has been produced yet. I would really like to do this soon though.

Re: Letters to Baby

I haven't thought about it, but I think it is a lovely idea.

Re: Letters to Baby

Although I am at almost 15 weeks, I have thought about writing a letter to my baby already...and I want to when the baby is born... something special for them to have when they are old enough to understand...

Re: Letters to Baby

Yes I am definitley doing this. I think its a really really good idea.

Re: Letters to Baby

My mom wrote me letters. It was amazing to read them.

Write. I loved reading mine.

Re: Letters to Baby

I wrote a letter to mikayla in anticipation of her arrival, it is in her baby book

Basically I said how I wonder what she will look like, etc

dh's page is still blank

Re: Letters to Baby

I actually have started writing to little boy in my head. I want to have a letter for him written before he's born and then one after he's born.

Re: Letters to Baby

I am crashing from the parenting board because DH and I wrote letters to our DC (who now is a DD) the night before I was induced and I have to say that it was so special that night but even more special now. DD is only 4mnths but I still read the letters often. The one from my husband makes me cry and my letter really focuses on telling my future child what an amazing father she has and my wishes for her. I know I am going to look back on it often to never forget that moment of unconditional love for someone you had never even met.

I lost my mom almost 11 years ago and my dad gave me a book a few years back about pregnancy and bringing a new life into this world and in it was a letter to my brothers and I from my mom when she was sick. She just wanted us to know what a miracle we were to her and she hoped one day we would be able to experience our own miracle by bringing a child into this world. That letter means so much to me.

So, sorry to be longwinded, but if you have a chance write that letter. It is so worth it!

Re: Letters to Baby

I plan to write one. I also plan to write one every year for his birthday. I think it would be really nice to go back and read them.

I've had an ongoing diary to her since my BFP

Re: Letters to Baby

we probably won't do this

Re: Letters to Baby

When I was pregnant I bought cards for every holiday and addressed the "to my baby" and wrote inside them - how old he was at that time, how I was feeling, how I was spending that particular holiday, how excited I was for his arrival. I have them all sealed and dated on the outside and plan to give them to my son when he gets older.
