Hello Aivleen,
My sweet, sweet girl...
A week ago, we finally got the chance to meet you and it's been nothing but love and joy since. You have made me and Daddy SO happy with your sunny disposition, looks of curiosity and pure beauty. We are smitten. We couldn't have asked, wished or hoped for a greater gift. From the time Daddy's voice cracked announcing you as a girl, to the outpouring of love and good wishes from your family and friends, to all the kind words and support from the nurses, to your easy going, laid back personality, to bringing you home and transitioning you to our world, to your sweet demeanor, we have considered ourselves so lucky.
Things don't always go as planned - from thinking for months on end that you were a baby boy and your arrival not going smoothly - but in the end, planning isn't what's important. The journey, the adventure, the connection, the future... taking care of you, nurturing you, teaching you, loving you... that's what's important. We cherish you and every moment we've shared, share and will share with you as we raise you to be our daughter, a good person, a strong woman... a star that shines bright in this world.
We've wished for you, longed for you and now our wishes have come true and we long no more, for we have our lil'Aibhlinn.
Thank you for the greatest week of our lives. We can't wait for the weeks to multiply.
XOXO
Mommy
