Dear Baby

My intent is for this blog to celebrate and chronicle my life with my husband before kids.  I want the focus to be coupleness rather than childlessness.  Even so, we do not plan to be a family of two forever.  I'm a daydreamer and sometimes I have babies on the brain.  I try not to dwell on it, but there are days it actually feels therapeutic to imagine life with a wee one.  Periodically, I will be sharing a post called "Dear Baby," a letter to our future child about all of the above.  I invite you to share your own Dear Baby letter in the comments or link to a letter on your own blog. 

Dear Baby,
I have not treated my body well.  I have deprived it of nutritious foods and fed it garbage and chemicals.  I have not exercised regularly for a long time.  I want you to know that all that is changing.  I am nourishing my cells with living foods.  I am creating a safe, healthy place for you to grow.   I am learning how to cook healthy meals, which I will be able to prepare for you someday.  In the evenings, Daddy and I go for a walk or a hike.  My body is getting stronger so that I will be able to run and play with you. 

Love,
Mommy
