Dear future baby,
It’s 2:09 AM, Saturday, March 29, 2014. Your daddy and I just celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary on March 10. We decided to think about becoming pregnant at that time. I bet you’re wondering why I’m up and daddy is asleep, with Peanut by his side. I’m in horrible pain right now. I can’t sleep because of pain in my knee, chest, elbow, and shoulder. Right now baby, you are just a thought, you are an imaginary person, just chilling with your grandma Tamayo, Tia Stephie and great grandparents, Momo and Popo, just waiting for your time.
Your parents want you so much. We want you so much. I want you so much. You will learn that mommy and daddy are very pro-choice, and hopefully, we will instill these ideals in you, whether you’re a girl, boy, or neither. I want you to know how much of a choice you are, a loving, wanted choice.
I am in pain because I have psoriatic arthritis, and it’s getting worse. The psoriasis is spreading everywhere, and the arthritis pain is getting worse (hopefully, this disease won’t be passed on to you). But, I cannot take any medication for it. All the medication used to treat this disease is harmful to my body, which in turn would be harmful to you (once you’re in this body).
I am in pain because I want you. I’m not saying that to make you feel bad, or to be a better child, nothing like that. I just want to convey how much of a choice you are and what I have to sacrifice for you. I am in pain, and you’re not even in my body. I can’t imagine the pain and discomfort I’ll be in when you’re in my body. We are pro-choice because to force a pregnancy on a person with a uterus is wrong. I want you, so I am willing to make the necessary changes and sacrifices for you. But imagine someone who didn’t want a pregnancy, didn’t have the resources, support, or just flat out didn’t want to be a parent. That’s a big burden to bear.
I bear that willingly. Your mommy is pro-choice because of you. You are going to be so loved by everyone. You are going to be a blessing. We love you future baby.
