A Love Letter to an Unborn Human

Words can not describe how beautiful this is, what an experience this has been. I have truly been blessed. One week and you come to this world. For the last nine months, you've existed in mine. Before that, I wish I knew, but certainly something this powerful doesn't just manifest itself in a Big Bang rationale. 
I have never met you, never seen you. But I've cared for you like I've never cared for anything else before. I've only felt you briefly, but it's those moments I cherish. You are my treasure. I know how wonderful you are, how beautiful your soul is. This must be what faith is. The believing without seeing. In fact, it goes beyond faith in the same way it goes beyond love.
From the beginning, it has been a journey. In a way, I felt your spirit develop just as I felt your form. It wasn't something that arose from nothing, but I swear I felt you develop consciousness along the way. 
You can't convey your thoughts just yet, but you communicate through my heart each and every day, and everything you are radiates through my chest in perfect rhythmic timing. It's the most incredible thing. I feel as if I am carrying an entire (tiny) universe in my womb. 
This feeling defies any laws of science or religion, but rises about and views both in perfect unison. I've never had an experience with god, but if I did, this would be it. I've never understood my own existence, but I'll never come closer to knowing than right now. And my god, this isn't even the beginning; this is only the prelude.
