Mommy Thoughts...

Next Friday will be my daughter's second birthday! I still remember the day I found out I was pregnant, all the doctor appointments and ultrasounds. I remember preparing to bring this little person into the world. All the anxiety and worry, the uncertainty of it all. The day I first laid eyes on you when they laid you on my chest... made every moment, every feeling I had up until that point = worth it.

You'll be two now and watching you grow and learn has been amazing!!! In the midst of watching you hit milestones, from the first time you sat up, to your first word, to your first steps... I was growing as a person too. You've taught me so much in the time I've had you, and I am soooo grateful for every little bit of it!!! You've taught me that I'm stronger than I thought I was, that I can overcome hard ships that I thought I never would. Post-partum depression is hard af, but knowing that after I would wipe the tears from my eyes while feeling like I was drowning, YOU loved me regardless, that is what kept me going.

I am soooo proud of you, and I love being your mom!!! It has been hard, but so fulfilling in it's own ways. I would never trade it for anything in this world.

I love you, I love you, I love you... ♥
