happy thanksgiving baby



Dear Emi,

Today is your first Thanksgiving. I can think of so many things in my life to be thankful for, but this year and today you are number one. You are 9 months old today and cuter than ever. The 9 months I waited to meet you seemed like forever, and the 9 months I've known you have passed at full speed. You are my angel baby and I am so thankful to have you in my life. Even more, I am so thankful to be your mother. I don't know what I ever did to deserve the opportunity to take care of you, raise you, and teach you in this life, but it is an amazing blessing. You have taught me so much in 9 months about love, patience, selflessness and just about myself. You have helped me to realize that I can do hard things even when I don't have a clue what I'm doing. You have helped me realize that you truly come to love those you serve with a fierceness that can't be easily matched. You have opened my heart and showed me a different kind of love I never knew existed. Thank you for being patient with me as I fumble and learn my way around this new job of mine. I hope you know that I will do anything for you and I hope as you get bigger you will understand even a tiny bit how much I love you. Thank you for being my sweet baby girl. I love you so much!

Love,
Mom
