Dear Mom,
You won't believe what I've been through. It's crazy in here. Lots of noises and sloshing. Sometimes it's really dark and other times there is this bright light that makes me squeeze my eyes shut.
I hear you talking and singing and I realize you have the most lovely voice. I can't wait to see your face and look into your eyes as you sing to me.
I hear other voices too. One is really rumbly sounding. And at times, it gets very loud, like shouting. It's my daddy's voice. He sounds like someone I can trust, but also someone who loves adventure.
There are other voices. One is very quiet and soft, almost like whispering. Sometimes I hear him making another loud racket. I'm not sure what he's doing, but it sounds like he's having a good time and seems to really enjoy whatever he's doing.
There is another voice that seems to sing all day long. She's very loud and chatty. She seems happy and is always having fun.
Even though I haven't met these voices, I love them. I listen for them and smile or sigh contentedly when I hear them.
At times, these voices talk to ME. I can tell because they call my name, and I feel very loved and secure hearing that they are all waiting for me to arrive.
There used to be lots of room in here. I could do flips and roll and kick and stretch as much as I wanted. Now, it's getting harder to move. Sometimes I just feel like stretching my legs out as far as they will go. And it seems you like it, because you rub against my foot, letting me know you can feel me too.
I also can feel hot and cold. Hot is nice. It makes me feel snuggly and relaxed. Cold is awful! I do not like cold at all. It makes me stretch and kick, trying to warm up. I don't know what is causing this, but wish you would do something about it.
I have to admit, it's pretty nice here in the dark. It's cozy, feels warm (most of the time!), and safe. But, I'm also very curious as to what you and the other voices look like. I'm not exactly sure how to get out of here, in order to meet you, but I'm working on a plan. It's hard to explain, and I'm still working out a few details, but I'm almost ready to put this plan into action. I hope you're as ready to meet me as I am to meet you.
Well, I should go. It's about time for me to sleep again. I hope you are resting well. Once I arrive, I will be anxious to learn more about you. I plan on spending as much time as possible learning as much as I can, as quickly as I can. It's going to be exhausting and an around the clock job, but I'm trying to rest and prepare myself for this as best I can. See you soon!
Much Love from the Dark,
Your Baby
