Maternity Glow

At first you moved,

only a little.

I could always find you,

right in the middle.

As time went on,

you really started to grow.

It wasn't a whole lot,

in fact, it was rather slow.

Before I knew it,

you were all over the place.

It kind of felt like

you were running a race.

People would ask me

if you were a boy or a girl.

I would sit and wonder,

if you would have curls.

There are so many things

I really want to know.

But you are hidden inside,

so the answers don't show.

How much will you weigh?

How tall will you be?

What color is your hair?

Will you even like me?

I hope and pray

you feel like you belong.

I never want you to feel

like you are alone.

Your Dad and I

planned you from the start.

You, my dear child,

were made straight from our hearts.

In about a week or so,

I'll meet you, for the first time.

For you are the product

of your Dad's love and mine.

There will be no one like you,

not any place in the world.

It really doesn't matter

if you are a boy or a girl.

We are both so happy

that you even exist.

The gender doesn't matter.

you'll be hard to resist.

I hope I make you proud,

that I am your mother every day.

Because, you have filled my dreams

in more ways than words can say.

It won't be long before

I can look you in the eyes.

I can feel the excitement growing,

I know I'm going to cry.

Don't worry my angel,

those tears will be of joy.

It won't matter to me

if you are a girl or a boy.
