2 years ago today I gave birth to the most amazing little girl. I had no idea at the time just how amazing she was although I got my first hint when my OB went over, picked her up and studied her. I knew then that had charisma. A sort of magnetism.
When she arrived, she let everyone know she was not thrilled. She was not thrilled with the idea of being somewhere she wasn't used to. She was not keen on being forced to endure being poked at. And she certainly had no desire to be swaddled. She was free from her squished home of 9 months and she was going to live it up. When we went up to our room I unswaddled her & she never looked back. She hated being bound right from the start. She likes to be free.
I knew as soon as we met that she was meant to be my daughter. I knew that my life would never be the same. I just had no idea in what way it would change. I had no idea the amount of delirious exhaustion I would experience in the name of love. I had no idea how scared I would be to allow other people to love her. I was completely unprepared for the amount of contradictory emotions I would feel.
I had no idea that she would have her own personality & would have no problem showing it off right from the very start. I had no idea just how much she would need me and how much I'd be willing to sacrifice for her.
Here we are 2 years later and I'm still watching her in awe. I still wait for someone to wake me up & tell me it's all been a wonderful dream that I'll now have to wake up from. She's an amazing little girl. She has a genuine spirit that runs deep & true. She's full of wonder and beauty. She has an infectious laugh and deep telling eyes. She has a way of studying her surroundings and finding her niche in true chameleon fashion. I watch her learn and get excited with pride when she accomplishes something. I am in awe of her and I fall even deeper in love with my little girl every single day.
