Funny you asked that. I wrote my son a letter maybe 3 days before he was born and I still have. I add something new every year on his birthday I hope to give it to him full of advise, poems, prayers and just thoughts when he is about 13 when he will need it the most. I thought at first that I was crazy and no one else did that. But at least I know now that other people think about it too.

Sure. I've known people to do that.

Dear kiddo, I'm Lauren. I come from a super-dysfunctional family, but if/when you come into the world, I'll do my best to shield you from that as much as I can. I've got big dreams for myself, but if you ever arrive, I'm sure I'll have bigger dreams for you. Know what I would love you no matter who you are, that I would be open to any questions you had, and that I would do anything I could to give you an easier time in life than I had.

Would like people to actually write a letter. Should have phrased the question a bit more clearly.

Words cannot describe how I feel about you. I love you so much already. I cannot wait to hold you. I pray that you will be happy and healthy. I only want good things for you. I thank God for you. You are so special to me. All my love, Mommy. This is what I wrote to my son in his baby book before he was born. I hope you like it.

Dear Son: This is Dad speaking: Hi! Is it too dark in there? I can't tell you how anxious I am to see you come into this world. Your Mom and I both are very happy that you'll soon be a part of our lives and it'll be richer for it. As the holder of the Title "your father" I have a little experience in this world and I have to tell you: It's a wonderful place to live, you'll make it what you want it to be. There's a lot of it that might scare you, confuse you and make you sad as well. Believe me, I know all those feelings and those are part of what we call "Life", you got to go through those too. You might have a lot of questions. I will not have all the answers for those, but what I do have is the desire to help you and guide you to the best of my abilities. You can be sure that I'll be there every step of the way, or at least until you have the ability to decide what's best for you, then you'll make it on your own. We hope to see you soon, can't wait!!! We love you. Mom and Dad.

Ah. Ok. I was totally going to answer this and say ''I could, but it'd be soppy and mushy and really gross''. then I read your comment about wanting people to write a letter! Damn you ;-) Honestly, I think the letter would depend on how the child was conceived, to whom it was conceived and my life at the time. If I were to have a baby now I'd probably just want to write an entire letter of apology about how sorry I am for bringing him/her into the world during one of the (thus far) most unstable and turbulent times of my life. (Then I'd feel guilty for probably causing my kid so much psychological sh*t when they're older, so I'd call social services and tell them ''please I can't be this child's mother''. Then I'd feel bad, cancel the call and buy a crib. You SEE? I'd be a terrible mum.) I'll think on my actual letter, I just didn't want to delete the *rest* of my answer...
