Letter

Dear Embryo:

I hope you're finding your new accommodations warm, cozy and welcoming. I want you to know I've been taking painstaking measures to make sure that my uterus is up to your high standards. Your wish is my command so if there is anything I can do to make your stay more comfortable, I do hope you'll let me know.

I greatly apologize for the sneezing incident that happened a moment ago. I usually try to stifle my sneezes in an attempt to keep you from being shaken and jostled about; but unfortunately this sneeze escaped my lips so suddenly that it could not be stopped. I regretted the sneeze the instant it happened.

I hope you'll partake of the abundant riches and amenities my uterus has to offer and please do make yourself completely at home. My only request is that you'll stay around for a while, say, how about nine months or so? I promise in turn, to provide you with copious amounts of balanced nutrition and quality rest. You and your happiness, my darling embryo, are my first and foremost priority.

You may find this odd, considering I only met you about 24 hours ago, but I love you so much already, little embryo. I love everything about you. All I want in this world is for you to be happy and healthy and strong. If you could do me the honour of sticking around so that I can have the opportunity to give you the world on a silver platter, I would be eternally grateful. I promise you'll have the best life ever, so please take off your coat, unpack your suitcase, and stay awhile.

WIth all my heart,
Your devoted mum.
