O Blessed Child of Wonder <br />Growing in me <br />We love you so much, <br />Your daddy and me. <br /> <br />You're moving and growing, <br />I can feel you inside. <br />And now that 'I'm showing' <br />Your size soon won't hide. <br /> <br />I hope you're enjoying <br />Conversation and song. <br />On the waterbed I made <br />For your ride, nine months long! <br /> <br />The food I've been sending <br />May seem smooth as silk. <br />But wait till I hold you <br />And you taste mother's milk. <br /> <br />In the meantime, enjoy... <br />My cozy womb inside <br />Until you are ready <br />For that great, slippery ride! <br /> <br />We'll both be here waiting, <br />Cheerleaders for you <br />Our bundle of joy <br />Our Little Peek-a-Boo <br /> <br />(I wrote this poem for my daughter-in-law, Janelle - as a sentiment inside the card I made for her baby shower. She's carrying my first grandbaby, and I wanted to write a special poem for her...written from the mother-to-be's perspective...which took me back twenty-some years to visit the feelings surrounding my own first pregnancy with my son, Zac - Janelle's husband)<br /><br />Janet K.
