Dear Alaura,
It's occurred to me recently that you will always be my only first child. I think that there is a special connection between us that is due to this fact. You're the only child who for three whole years didn't have to share mommy and Daddy with anyone. You have been our whole world for those three years, and now our little world gets to expand in a wonderful way. I watch you everyday as you talk to Sydney in my tummy and tell her about the world around her and how much you love her and I'm amazed. You have a sweet pure love that can only be found in a child who hasn't seen the hurts of the world.
Sometimes I'm scared that when Sydney comes I wont know how to give both of you everything that you need. I hope that you never doubt or wonder how much I love you. Growing up I never wanted anything more than to be a wife and a Mom. And now that I'm living that dream it's amazing. I've experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows over the past five and a half years. But the truth is I wouldn't change any of it, because with out those occasional lows I wouldn't be able to revel in the amazing highs!
I'm so excited to watch you grow and learn new things and to continue teaching you new things. I love the way that you love to do everything that I'm doing. (sometimes it's a little hard, but I do love it) I'm so excited to teach you the things that my Mom taught me and the things that your Daddy has taught me. I also love watching you and Daddy play...he loves having girls even though he swore he would have all boys...He's an amazing Daddy. You've always been a free spirit and have done things your own way, and while sometimes it scares me to death, I really and truly love that about you.
I can't wait for the day to come that you are married and have little babies of your own who you love with all of your heart and cry for live for and would die for. I love you so much baby girl. (I know that I'm not allowed to call you that anymore, but you'll always be my Baby girl)
Love
Mommy

That is such a sweet letter that both of you can treasure later in life. Thank you for sharing it with so many people. Take it easy!
That is such a great letter, I'm sure she will treasure it throughout her life. It was so neat to have you share it.
How cute! Thank you for sharing, I needed that. sometimes I get so caught up with my little ones and their needs that I forget Hailey was an only child for three years and the second two came so close together and they need me so much still that I have to tell her to wait until I am done. She is so grown up, but she still needs me as well. Alaura will enjoy that letter forever!!!
That is how I feel about my sweet Hannah. I'm all emotional being pregnant right now that your letter brought me to tears. But I can't say enough how motherhood is the highest of highs and can be the lowest of lows. I love being a mom! I am so happy for you and your family Brooke. You look very happy!
