Like when there's a purse you've had your eye on for months...you want it SO.BAD.
Or when your coworkers bring cake on the second day of your diet..,you want it SO.BAD.
Sweet Georgia - I love you so bad.
I can't get enough of your "please" and "thank you." I could soak in your "I love you too" or "you're the best, Mommy." My heart melts every time you say "I need you" and I grin from ear to ear when we argue on whose being the funny girl. "You are..no you are."
I love being able to stop everything, most everything, for you. I can usually accommodate your request within minutes, at most. We teach you patience and responsibility, but when I have the chance - I go to you and I'm okay with that. You're my girl. Always will be.
And that's when I get choked up.
Pretty soon...we'll have two. Two of you to love. I know my heart is capable, but right now I feel weak thinking of you having to share.
Your voice squeals with excitement when I say we can play castle. Your face lights up when it's bath time. I love when you try and negotiate 3 books instead of 2 at bedtime. And one of my favorite times with you is....rocking.
And here we are..what feels like all of a sudden...the night before we give you a sibling.
So I want to make sure you know this:
My Dear Georgia,
May you always know the importance and weight of what you gave me; you made me a mom first.
May you always feel like you're my favorite girl.
Georgia, always know you enlightened us with how contagious laughter can truly be; and we weren't the only ones who wanted to bottle yours.
May you always know I wish I could say yes to your everything, every time.
My heart always says yes.
You are a caring and smart little girl who is about to be the best big sister we've ever seen.
May you always know you taught us first just how much "thiiiiiis much" really means:
And Mommy and Daddy sure do you love you - THIIIIIIIIIIIS much!
Much more than you'll ever know.
