You are sitting here with me as I type out this first letter to you and are trying to "help" by grabbing at my hands. I want to start writing you letters so you know about me, you, and the adventures that we will be taking together. When I found out I was having a girl I was in complete shock. My whole life I dreamed of a daughter, but for some reason I thought I would only have boys. The ultrasound tech said with a smile it was a girl, and I gasped. A girl! A daughter! You are so special, and that was the first moment I realized that I was one of the luckiest moms in the whole world!
When you were born it was sort of surreal. After a few hours of intense pain I was overcome with the greatest love I've ever known. They handed you to me and I promised you that I would be here for you no matter what. Your little hands, your crazy head of hair, and your sweet small nose. I felt as if I already knew you. September 2, 2011, the day I became a mother, is the greatest day of my life.
Watching you grow made me realize that I wanted to document and share with you for when you are older all of the things you do everyday. You make me laugh with your baby noises. You make me cry when you won't sleep. You make smile when you reach for me. You are so special and will forever be loved.
In this first letter, I just want you to know that I dreamed of you before you were born. I dreamed of holding you and showing you the world. It is hard to believe that now I have you. We will have great adventures together. I can't wait.
Love,
Mommy
