A love letter to my babies on our first Mother’s Day!
I waited for this day for a long time. I looked for you through hell and high water, I did not give up. And on August 11, 2021 I found out you were making your way to me. On August 23, 2021 I found out my wishing, praying, crying and trying had paid off twice! It was scary to hear this news, but it was and still is the biggest blessing of my life. From the moment I heard your heartbeats I was forever changed.
I was even more blessed on November 21, 2021, mine and your dad’s wedding party anniversary, to find out I was having a boy, my precious Luca, and a girl, my beautiful Lexi. I captioned the announcement with “I literally don’t know what I did so right in this life to deserve this blessing.” I still don’t know. I got the pair! I get to be a boy mom and a girl mom. I got to make sure you had a sibling, a built-in lifetime bestie. I felt so complete.
My pregnancy had so many challenges, ups, downs and complications which we are still battling now, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. You are here and you are perfect! I would do it all over again, for you.
I will do my best to teach you so many things, like how to be strong but kind in this harsh world, to always have faith and believe in yourself, to know that you can do anything you set your mind to, but I will not forget that you will also be teaching me... Teaching me to see things through different eyes, teaching me what true love is and teaching me to slow down and live in the moment.
I have so many things to thank you for. Thank you for the snuggles. Thank you for your patience as I learn this new role. Thank you for making me a better person. Thank you for opening my eyes to this immense love. But most importantly, thank you for making me a Mommy, your Mommy.
You are so loved, by so many people… But no one else will ever love you quite like I do, because after all you are the only ones that know what my heart sounds like from the inside. You are my “heart babies,” and my heart is all yours.
On good days and bad days, and all the days in-between, I love you. I will always love you! Thank you for choosing me to be your Mom. You are and will always be the best Mother’s Day gift ever.
Like Grammy always tells me… I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, whenever one door closes I hope one more opens, promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance, and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance… I hope you dance!
Thank you for choosing me! I love you!
-Mommy
