Letter to my Daughter

Dear Miss Eleanor Grace,

It is becoming more and more real everyday how close you are to arriving; to us finally being able to hold you in our arms. Each big movement I feel these days is a reminder of your growth and you actually being a little human in my tummy.

There are so many things I cannot wait to teach you once you arrive. But first, I can't wait to nurture you, cuddle you, kiss your cheeks and spend time getting to know you. It is a funny thing knowing you being inside of me but I cannot even imagine how it will be to know you in my arms.

I honestly have no idea what to expect for your arrival but I do know that I love you so much already. I grow emotional just thinking about the day we get to meet you. Your dad is practically giddy every time we talk about the day you get here. Growing a human is hard work but I can only imagine how rewarding it is going to be.

Each day that passes I grow more and more absent minded because all I can think about is getting to meet you. We only have a few more weeks to go and my hope is that you stay in as long as you need to.

My hope for you is that you are happy. I want to provide you with a loving mom and dad, a warm place to lay your head, and happiness. You will always be able to count on your mom and dad; we love you so much already. I know the first days may not be the easiest but I think as long as we count on each other we will do just fine.

I also would like you to know that you will be arriving during my favorite time of year. Right before Christmas. Our house will be decorated to welcome you home and we will get to be cozy in our house as a new little family. I hope you love the holiday season just as much as I do.

I want to say hurry, but as I already mentioned, I don't want you to hurry and want you to make your appearance when you are good and ready. We cannot wait to meet you, sweet Eleanor, and will welcome you with open arms.

Mom and Dad love you.

XoXo,
Your Momma
