Letter To My Pre-Baby Self Analysis

Improved Essays
Do you ever wish that you could go back in time, and pull the younger you aside. Tell the younger you, it's going to be ok. I look back and think of all the time I wasted worrying and stressing out. Having a letter like this would have helped so much. But in light of that, the past is the past and can’t be changed or undone. It has lead me to where I am today and very proud of that. I wrote a letter to my “pre-baby Self”. It felt good to write everything down that I had worried about so much in the past. Knowing that I did make it through and I am a good mom and have accomplished so much. I encourage you to write a letter to your pre-baby self!

Dear you before babies, before sleepless nights, diapers and daily spit-up.
This is your future calling. You about to step into the crazy world of being a mom. Don’t be scared. Giving him a home in your belly will be the most joyful thing you will ever experience. The 6am hiccups, exgtriing heartburn, swollen ankles and lower back aches are worth it! Eventually over time you forget all the pain when you finally get to hold him for the first time. Don’t be scared that your mom lives on the other side of the country, or that you live away from all your family and friends. Drew makes up

It will soon become your everyday to look at, smear off or smell your babies poop. Oh yeah, and sleep, see you forever! Your sleep patterns will be off for the rest of your life. Your going to be a mom. Try not to give Drew too much hassle when you see him peacefully asleep in dream land, wrapped up like a burrito. Starting a fight at 2am may seem like a good idea in the heat of the moment, but take it from me/you its not. Morning payback is the best! Friends they’ll come and go. You’ll find out quickly who the true ones are. Don’t lose sleep over it, you need to sleep to take care of your baby. You now have more important things to worry
