Today is Mother's Day. My first one as your mama.
The day started off like our other days. When you woke up in your yellow and white striped jammies, I picked you up and kissed you as you blinked and nestled into me. I fought your fiercely kicking little legs to wrestle your diaper on. I snuggled you against me and gave you your bottle. You ate and spit up on me. I laughed and cleaned us both up and hugged you.
At this time last year I was so sad from losing your sister, and I didn't know if I ever would or could be where we are now.
Being your mama is hard, Sophie, but it's the best thing that ever happened to me. Yes, I worry more than ever. Yes, I am usually exhausted. Yes, there always seem to be things that need done that I don't ever get to. But my heart is open in ways it never has been.
I love you so much, my sweet, tiny baby girl. I love watching your grow and change and become your own person more and more each day. I can't wait to celebrate many more Mother's Days with you.
Love,
Your mama
