Dear Jack

Dear Jack,

You'll be here in just under 5 weeks!

Just about 4.5 years ago I moved to Copenhagen.
A few weeks after that I met your dad.
A few weeks after that he moved to London.
Our love blossomed from a distance over two years.
Two years and 16 days ago your dad moved back to Copenhagen from London.
47 weeks ago your dad and I got married.
35 weeks ago we started trying to make you a reality/and it worked!
A few days later we learned that I had breast cancer.
Over the last almost 9 months you've been growing inside me as we await your arrival.
I have read 3 books about how to raise a happy child.
We have attended 3 birth preparations courses.
I will love you oodles.
I have zero idea what I'm getting myself into.

I was a bit slow to join the mommy bandwagon. I was busy building my career and collecting life experiences. I rarely thought about being a mom, at least not seriously, until I met your dad. What can I say?  The world needs more people like your dad. I'm so honored that I'll get to be your mor alongside your father. 

Every fiber of my being loves your little soul. And it is about to love you even more. It's hard to believe my priorities were ever any different.

You'll be happy to know your parents are pretty capable people (and not just by our own measure!) however, thank goodness for parental leave because, the three of us have a lot to learn.

If there is one thing I've learned over the last almost nine months of being pregnant with you and being treated for breast cancer, it's that worry and anticipation can be the toughest part. The mind is great at concocting the worst case scenario. Really, once you're in it, you figure it out. That's how your dad and I roll.

Your grandfather, farfar, who unfortunately you'll never meet, didn't believe in worry or regret. He taught your dad just to focus on what you have control over - the present moment. I'm still trying to learn that lesson and I hope you'll learn it to.  

So let's take things one day at a time and try not to worry about what's to come or what has been.  Hopefully we'll start by learning how to breastfeed together.  Eating good food is pretty important to your parents so you tasted lots of different flavors while inside me but we're aiming for a steady diet of just my breast milk until my radiation begins.  We're not sure if I'll be able to breastfeed after chemo but if not we've arranged for you to have breast milk from a donor.  Only the best for you, little man.

I know you've been cozy and happy in my belly and it's going to be a shock to join us out here but the best things in life are never easy.  You've got to work for them.  Having a sense of accomplishment from hard work is part of what makes the good things great. And I promise you, your hard work will be rewarded.  Your dad and I are going to be the very best parents we can possibly be.

See you soon!
We can't wait to meet you,
Mor

  1. So you have named your son Jack? How terrific and strong that is. But not nearly as strong as his Momma. I thank you for sharing your journey darling. Be well, be calm and peaceful as you travel through the finish line to becoming a Mom. You will be the best Momma a Jack could ever have. I love you, Aunt Kit

  5. As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from CANCER, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My wife suffered cancer in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she always complain of abnormal vaginal bleeding, and she always have pain during sexual intercourse. . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the cure to cancer . I never imagined cancer. has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it and in one months time she was fully okay even up till this moment she is so full of life. cancer. has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony.

  10. I recently have some difficult conversations and I did what a lot of people do when they want to know how to do something. I googled it. I came across Dr Williams herbal medicine on YouTube so many people thanking him about his good work. I also have lungs cancer. I wasn’t running all over God’s creation with every man I could find but here I am. I have felt bad about myself for so many years now because of my cancer status. I obviously still have some self-accepting to do but I want to thank Dr Williams for everything he have done for my family ,after taking Dr Williams medicine i was completely free from lungs cancer within one month of usage, I think what you are doing is so admirable. you have helped me a lot! I want to definitely reach out to you and thank you for your amazing work. You are a good person, and an extremely talented man. You have helped millions with your herbs, and have really inspired me,and i pray you still continue doing the good work.you can also email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for help

  12. Searching for natural ways to get rid of my fibroid was not easy. I saw several advertisements of all kinds of treatments to shrink fibroid. I was a little skeptical but I was desperate to get rid of the fibroid so I tried one in particular which didn’t work. I was still having heavy painful bleeding with lots of clots. I noticed that the soreness in my breast was gone, but after going for another scan, I was told that my fibroid were still there. I was so discouraged that I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to discuss other possibilities for removing the fibroid. About two months later, while surfing on the internet I saw a post on Facebook talking about how to get rid of fibroid naturally without surgery with the help of (Dr Ebhota Herbal Medicine). I was very skeptical about it. I didn’t even bother to contact the Dr Email that was written below the comment in the post. Two days later, as I sat alone in the sitting room feeling hopeless about my fibroid, I decided to go on Facebook and see if I can still access the post I saw two days earlier so i can get the Email and contact the Dr because i felt this is my only hope, thank God I was able to get it. I reluctantly gave the Dr Natural product a try and contacted him via Email ( drebhota123456@gmail.com ) …it just made sense after one week of using the herbal medicine it was like a miracle i could not hold my joy i immediately ran to the hospital for text and behold my Doctor said its no more. On September 13 of 2017, so since then I began to share Dr Ebhota testimonies and i promise to drop his Email: Drebhota123456@gmail.com and WhatsApp +2349035324155 so others can benefit from his herbal medicine.

  13. I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting {blankatm156@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $50,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!! Contact these email if you wants to get rich with this Via: blankatm156@gmail.com
