A woman has sacred feelings for the child she carries within for nine months, brings into life, and nurtures through the first two years of infancy. Love Letters to My Baby fills a unique niche as a guided journal to help mothers put down in words how their unborn and newborn child is wanted, dreamed about, cherished and loved. These messages from the heart are written in letter form so they may someday be given to the child who inspired them. Each chapter begins with a verse of Scripture, thoughts on the stages of pregnancy and young motherhood-with questions to help inspire mom in her writing! The book allows for thoughts to be penned from the beginning of pregnancy until many months after her child's birth. Love Letters to My Baby is actually two gifts: one for mother and one for her new baby and child.

What a true gift,
By Christy (Yukon, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Letters to My Baby (Hardcover)
I received this book for a baby shower gift on June 11, 2000. This book is a treasure that will continue to bless those who read it for years to come. It is filled with scripture and quotes that will make your heart fill with joy. Tears filled my eyes while reading all of the feelings that are felt by those women who are truly thankful for the miracles that grow within them. A gift only God can give. This book allows you to write to your unborn child and tell them all of the feelings you are experiencing. There are several headings to start you out. One of my favorites is the one that starts, "The first person I told I was pregnant"....It allowed me to share the wonderful moment I told my husband we were expecting. My son Gabriel will be able to read how desperately he was wanted someday. I can't wait to share this book with others who are expecting or have newborns.

Non-christian mommies be aware...,
By Lone Star Atheist (North Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Letters to My Baby (Hardcover)
For you christian mommies, this darling book will melt your heart. As a non-christian, I was disappointed that it was never mentioned in any of the reviews for this sweet book that it was filled with Bible verses and passages. The illustrations are totally precious, I love the ideas offered to inspire you to write your own love letters to your baby, but was utterly put off by the overwhelming christian-ness of this book. If the christian way isn't for you, keep looking for another baby journal.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love Letters to My Baby (Hardcover)
I agree that this book is absolutely Christian. It's too bad that people have bought it without knowing that, and ended up resenting that aspect of it. I had the opportunity to read through it at the bookstore, so I was well aware of the nature of the book.
It is beautiful and celebrates the joy of motherhood. I felt excited writing such special things to my baby, and now that she is born, I love writing even more things to her, knowing more of her personality and the joy she has brought to our home. As someone else stated, the lead-ins really get you thinking, and help you relay more personal feelings than you might normally consider. The poems before each section are special and heart-warming, too. I would recommend this book to any Christian mothers out there who want to make something special for their baby to cherish later in life.
