Oh, little miss Aurora Rain...
You'll be a year old
in about six days, and that's so crazy to think about. But,
it's also believeable, because you've changed so much
this first year. You've grown so fast befor my eyes. I still
remember your first day in the world. That first amazing cry that
brought tears to my eyes. How the doctor said you came out butt
up with your legs positioned like a ballerina. I was so happy to
finally be able to see you. Even though I couldn't hold you
just yet. The time it took to sew my tummy back up, and the time
I had to wait in recovery felt like forever, because all I wanted
was to see you and hold you and love on you. It was quite an
amazing day, and you are quite an amazing little girl. I want you
to know, mommy will always do whatever I can for you. I will
always try my best to protect you. You mean more to me than
anything else in the whole wide world. Sometimes I still feel a
little surprised at the fact that I'm your mom. I'm so
proud of you, Aurora. You're my sweet, smart, beautiful
little mini-me. You are completely your own person though. I can
already tell that you're gonna be so much smarter than mommy
and daddy. Even though you're just as silly, just as crazy,
and just as stubborn as we are. Gosh, I still can't believe
you've been here for a year already. I love you so much, baby
girl and I can't wait to watch you grow more and more. I know
it's going to be pretty darn amazing. It'll be just as
amazing for you to have a little brother or sister in a few more
years, if mommy and daddy decide to bring another baby into the
world together.
