Poppy Seed
What a wonderful thing
To be your mother
Though we have not even met
And you have hardly grown
Bigger than a poppy seed
My heart still swells,
Nearly out of my chest
With love for you
Sesame Seed
While you are growing,
There is so much love
On this side
Just waiting for you
We have still got
Quite a ways to go
Before we can hold you
And I will forever treasure
That as your momma
I get to hold you first
As you grow inside of me
Lentil
It is so surreal
All the exciting changes
Going on
Right inside of me
Your heart is developing
And beginning to beat
I cannot wait to hear it
Your ears are developing as well
And I cannot wait
For you to hear how much I love you
Blueberry
You have grown to the size of
A blueberry
And my excitement is growing
Right alongside you as well
You were once just the size of
A poppy seed
And before that
You were a dream I thought
Would never come true
Raspberry
I have just gotten
To see you for the first time
You are growing so well
And making me so proud
To be your momma
You are just the size of a raspberry now
And you are showered in
So much love already
This journey has only just begun
And I cannot wait
For the rest of my life
To be spent loving you
Grape
Not only do I think about
How such a precious little baby
Like you
Is growing
In the first place you will call home
But I also think about
How much bigger my heart
Is going to keep getting
With love for you
It is like magic
That the two will fit
Inside me at the same time
Strawberry
Some days I have no words
To express how much I love you
Because none capture the overwhelming feeling
Just right
The love for you
That I have
Brings light into my life
So bright it is almost blinding
Fig
The bigger you get
The more I wonder about
The moment when
I am no longer
The only one carrying you
I look forward to the time
Where I get to learn so much more
About you,
Your personality,
And whose traits you took
As much as I wonder
About those days
That feel far off into the future,
I am still so grateful that
Every week I am getting
To read about something new
Happening right inside of me
This is a truly
Fascinating experience
And I am so lucky
I get to be the one
To help you grow
From a poppy seed
To one day,
A watermelon
Lime
This journey so far
Is something I will forever
Hold close to my heart
It has been nothing short of special
From the moment I learned
I\'d be carrying you
And to the moment I learned
I\'d be having a daughter
My dearest baby girl,
There is so much love
I will always have for you
And everything I have learned
Because of you
Your size is now comparable to a lime
But nothing could compare in size
The love for you
