When I hold you in my arms, I look at you and wonder how you fit inside of me for so long.
When you smile at me, even though I know it's wind, my heart explodes with love.
When you snuggle into my chest, burrowing your head and squishing up your legs, I melt.
When you scratch me with your perfectly shaped fingernails, I wonder how I'll ever keep you still enough to cut them.
When you cry, my stomach drops and I want to make everything okay.
When you look into my eyes, I look into yours and marvel at how similar we are.
When you sleep, I watch your many facial expressions and want to know what you're dreaming about.
When you eat, I beg you to take a breath because you eat so fast.
When people look at you and tell me 'she's a doll' or 'she's adorable' I smile and say 'I know'.
When strangers smile at us, I smile back.
I'm proud of who you are, I'm proud of who you'll be. Nothing will hold you back. At only 3 weeks old I know we're in for a bumpy ride - you have such a strong personality, a firm idea of what you will and won't do, and a calm and placid demeanor.
Please don't change. Please don't try to be anyone other than who you are. You're going to grow into a strong, independent, loving woman. I can't wait to share life with you.
Love,
Your Mum.
