Dear Maybe Baby

So it seems you might want to hang around

It seems that my maternal instincts were right

Day 4 with no menstruation

And this happened

Of course it did

In my heart I knew

It was why I tested

And tested

And tested again

I have a little you in me

For now at least

1-2 weeks pregnant

3-4 weeks from the first day

Of my last menstrual cycle

I know that it is early days

And I should not get too excited

But for now you are here

My Maybe Baby

For now you are inside of me

The size of a poppy seed

Busy growing your heart and mind

And I start to think of all the things I have already done

That may have caused you harm

Posh coffees

Darkest brown hair dye

Stressful drives

Lifting and twisting

Soft ice creams

Thankfully I have been taking folic acid for a while now

I need to improve my diet

Up my supplements

Drink lots of water

Take gentle exercise

Get more sleep

Do all I can to help you grow

I know better than to be too excited yet

I have known too much heartache to yet rejoice

But I am so happy to have you

My Maybe Baby

And oh, how I hope you will stay
