Mommy's Letter to William Ethan Morgan
My dear sweet baby Will,
I loved you before you were even conceived. I will never forget the moment I knew you were growing in my belly. I was singing and dancing and could not wait to share the news. I thanked God for you every day and focused on loving every moment that we had to share. My heart grew over the past 10 months to allow me to experience a love that I never knew possible. Each day my love for God grew because of the miracle he allowed us to share. I had more love for your father who cared for the two of us with more dedication and concern than I had ever seen. I had more love for you who brought more joy into my life than I ever knew possible. Yes the past 10 months have been the best 10 months of my life.
I know that you are with God today. I may not understand his plan but I do know that if he needed someone full of love he choose the right boy to help him. Your daddy and I love you so dearly but that is just the beginning. You have grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and even perfect strangers who have been moved by your journey. You, my sweet precious William, have in your short little life been loved more than many who have very long lives. You have inspired so many of us to be better people and to make the most of the lives and our physical health that we sometimes take for granted. We are so very proud of you.
I am your mommy and you are my son - the son that I prayed for and loved while you were here on earth. I know that I will long to have you in my arms until the day I see you in heaven. Until then, I must accept that you are with God in a much better place. As hard as we tried to keep you to ourselves it looks like God too knew that you were an amazing person even before you were born.
Daddy and I will always love you.
Hugs and Kisses,
Mommy

No News = Good News
Matt and I have been taking it easy. We both know that we are going to need our energy for baby Will's arrival. Matt's parents will be arriving on Wednesday. My family will be joining us as soon as we get some signs of labor. Will is going to have a large fan club here in Philly when he arrives. I also know that everyone following Will's journey from around the world will be pulling for him too!
Thank you so much for all of your thoughts, prayers, and support.

Best of luck to you. I just found your blog. It is very uplifting to see the love and hopes we share for our babies. I am also at CHOP delivering tomorrow a little girl with CDH by C-section. We are sure to meet as our little ones continue to impress us with their strength and achievements. Kindest of Regards and Best Wishes.
