Standing over your crib tonight, I realized just how perfect life is. I really don't think my life could be more complete or wonderful as it is right now. You lay there and I watched you sleep. Your butterfly mobile danced in the breeze of the fan, the shadow of butterflies pranced against your pretty pink walls. It's the first night I laid you to sleep in your crib. I've so enjoyed snuggling you in our bed every night. You've recently started to get annoyed when I turn over in the bed and wake you up. I can't believe you are already almost four months old. I feel like I just met you. Like you were just laid on my chest yesterday. In complete contradiction though, I've known you my whole life. Dreamt of you, I guess. You were promised to me long ago...written in the stars, I feel. I knew your name and saw your face long before you were conceived. I look so forward to watching your life unfold. To see you dance and play. To sing and swim. Climb trees, ride bikes, pick flowers, paint your nails. You are my precious girl, part of my soul. And my life is complete with you here.
Jack,
The love I have for you caught me completely off guard. You swept me off my feet. I never knew such an intense and all consuming love could exist. Becoming a mother was terrifying in a lot of ways, but you were so patient with me. To this day. You've made me better, more loving, more empathetic, more patient, kinder. You tickle me everyday with your sweet and loving sense of humor. You are so eager to please and I tear up at the thought of how innocent you are and how in awe you are of the world around you. I enjoy watching you interact and discover things. You sniff flowers when we walk by them. You have such an excitement and zeal for life. You throw your head back and open your mouth wide, closing your eyes, as if to squeal with excitement, but nothing comes out. I could sit with you and watch you forever. I love you so very much. You will always have a special part of my heart.
