Does this count as the first?

Dear Lexi-
Today is Mother’s Day…my very first one as your mom. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about you today and about how excited I am to be your mom and as I’ve been thinking about you, you must be thinking about me too because you have kicked ALL day and usually you’re just not so active during the day, you like to save your activity for when I’m trying to go to sleep or focus on something.

There’s a lot of pressure about being your mom that has me a little anxious but one thing I know won’t be a challenge at all is loving you. That will be very easy – because I already do…so so so much. So as your Mom I wanted to say Thank You – for already shaping my days, for reminding me what’s really truly important, for teaching me that grapefruit really is the most brilliant of all citrus, and for giving me the gift of you. I am so grateful to have you with me…to feel you kick, to know that you’re in there cozy and safe and I want you to know that even though it’s not always comfortable and I complain sometimes that I would stay pregnant forever if it meant keeping you safe forever.

I hope that you always know that I am the luckiest women in the world because I get to be your mom. That I treasure you. You are and always will be my little girl, even if you scream that you hate me and slam your bedroom door, I will still love you more then anyone else on this entire planet. You have my whole heart little girl and you always will.

Thanks for my very first mothers day.
Mommy
