Serena Williams can’t wait to meet her baby.

In a Monday morning post on Instagram, Williams wrote an intimate message expressing her love to her unborn child.
"My Dearest Baby, You gave me the strength I didn't know I had," Williams wrote in part. "You taught me the true meaning of serenity and peace. I can't wait to meet you. I can't wait for you to join the players box next year. But most importantly, I am so happy to share being number one in the world with you."
