Two Years ago I couldn’t wait to meet you. I wondered what you would look like. Would you have Dad’s nose? Would you have my eyes? Would you cry a lot or would you be quiet and content? Would you be a good eater and a good sleeper or would we have countless midnight sing alongs and feedings?
I would sit in your nursery in your rocker and imagine what it would be like to hold you and rock you to sleep. Imagining the unknown scenarios of what it would be like to be your Mom. Happy and scared. Would I be good at being your Mom? Would I know what to do?
I did know a few things…
I would love you more than I could fathom.
Your father and I would be the luckiest parents in the world.
And no matter what, I would always do everything in my power to protect you and make you happy.
Then you got here. And things just fell into place. I learned that you do have my eyes, but you still look just like your Daddy. You were are a very happy baby. Content, but not always quiet. You were always a good sleeper, but that isn’t surprising now because you are great at everything you do. You are strong and so capable for such a little peanut. You are so much fun! You make me laugh. And you make me cry because I was right about those 3 little things.
And I will always do EVERYTHING in my power to protect you and make you happy!
You'really making me tear up. This is so sweet. Hallie is adorable and you maternity are so pretty. Babies growing up is so bittersweet…you want to see what they will become but you also want them to stay small forever.
Such a sweet post =) It's so bittersweet to imagine the future, then say a little wish that it doesn't get here too quickly.
Aaaawwww…. so sweet Kelly. I try and not dwell on the future too much, I turn into a mushy mess if I do.
This post is so sweet!! It's amazing how much Hallie looked like you as a little baby!!! She hasn't changed too much either!! Love all the pictures you all have together!! What a luxury and a gift for both of you! Hugs!!
This is so sweet! Hallie is going to love having these letters year over year.
