evaleigh joy, i love you

Dear Evaleigh,

In a matter of days I will hold you in my arms for the first time. I have imagined that moment countless times but I know that nothing has prepared me for how I am really going to feel.  I have been holding you in my body for the past 9 months and it has been a privileged to share this body with you.  I have been honored to give you the things you have needed to grow and prepare your self to come in to this world.  

I have reveled in every kick, roll, and hiccup (those of which have been in the thousands).  Thank you for all of the little reminders that you are here and you are a living being.  I am going to miss having you all to myself, I hope your daddy will share you with me, because he can't wait to get his hands on you.  

I am so hopeful for our future together as mother and daughter.  You are about to make me something I have never been before.  Thank you for giving me this sacred role.  I think that our bond is already something pretty special and I can't wait for it to keep growing.  I am so excited to look in to your little face for the first time and have your daddy by my side.  We made you with a lot of love.  I want to examine every millimeter of you and talk about who you look like. We have such a great life ahead.  Thank you for being my daughter and giving me more joy than I ever thought possible.  I love you and I'll be seeing you soon.

love,

your mother
