From the First Moment

Little Love,

You may only be the size of a poppy seed but you are in there! I can't even tell you how incredible it was to stand there fingers and and legs crossed waiting for that hourglass on the pregnancy test to stop flashing and give me an answer. I can't believe you are in there and you are ours. As I was laying in bed last night (you are already affecting my sleep) I was already feeling so protective of you. All I can think of is making sure that I do everything in my power to make sure you get to develop into a perfect whole little person. And of course your Daddy, being the planner he is, is already thinking about which type of account to open for your college fund. I don't know if you will ever want to read this someday but I hope that we are able to raise a compassionate, motivated individual who knows how completely they are loved and takes that with confidence into the world each day. Even as you are growing in there I know that I will not be able to spare you all of the pain and heartache that life can bring but I hope moments like the one I experienced yesterday when I saw the word "Pregnant" on that screen will make those trials worth it. I love you more than I can say and I can't wait to feel you growing inside me day by day and to finally hold you in my arms in 9 months. You are so loved little one.

Mama
