Wasn't this yesterday? How could it have been 5 years ago?
The day we met was one of the most incredible days of my life! You made me a mommy. You must have been just as excited to meet me as I was to meet you!! You burst into our world, 4 weeks early, on Valentine's Day. You were so tiny. Just 6lb & 2oz, 19" long... we worried we might break you! Your paci was almost as big as your face! You barely fit in preemie clothes, and we could have wrapped those tiny newborn diapers around you twice!
You grew so quickly. Babbling, sitting up, eating solid food... it must have all happened in a week! Your first word was mama, and it was the most beautiful music I have ever heard! Before you were born, I had no intentions of staying home after you arrived! My plans were to return to work, and it all changed the moment I laid eyes on you! I wanted to spend every second together that we could. And the memories we made were worth every financial sacrifice made.
You are not a baby anymore, you have become an absolutely beautiful little girl, inside and out. Your future is big, and you will do amazing things! Maybe you are ready for Kindergarten. Maybe you are ready for to shake hands with the big world out there.
Reality is, you are ready, and it is me that is not!
I love you more than you will ever understand, my precious Abigail.
I will always be here to love you, encourage you, and support you... unconditionally.
You amaze me, and now it is time for you to amaze the world!
14 days to go...
Love Always - MOM
