ResWelcome to the world, my little miracle! Your Daddy and we wanted children badly, and we had tried to have a baby for over ten years when we found out that I was pregnant with you. We were so excited! We were not sure if our troubles getting pregnant were from me or from Daddy, so we weren’t sure why we were struggling to have a child. We didn’t really have the money to spend on a fertility specialist, so we just kept trying. When I first went to the doctor to complain about infertility, plus excessive facial hair and weight issues, he thought we had a disease called endometriosis. I had tried some medication and herbal supplements to feel better, but nothing seemed to work. I began doing some research, and found out that endometriosis causes periods to be excessively long and painful, which wasn’t really my experience. I did have symptoms of a different issue called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This can cause facial hair, weight issues, and periods to be few and far between – sometimes up to six months apart for me. So, we went to my next doctor visit armed with information, and this doctor actually listened to me! He started me on treatments for PCOS, and within a couple of months I discovered that you were on the way. We were overjoyed! I started preparations, and saw you on your first ultrasound. It was amazing that after all the years of trying, we were finally going to be parents. I had some spotting going on about four months into the pregnancy; the doctor put me on bed rest. It was pretty boring, but worth it to meet you. About a month before you were due, I went in for a routine checkup, and they found that my blood pressure got really high. Because they were worried about potentially losing both of us, you were born by cesarean section that day. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier than when they put you in my arms. we cannot wait to see the person you will grow up to be, and how much trouble you will cause! Daddy and I think it would be too risky for me to have another child, so you will be our only one. We love you very much, and I look forward to finding out if you will be quiet or boisterous, a girl who loves girly things, or a bit of a tomboy. I will love you no matter what! Love always, ponse letter 5
