A Love Letter To My Eden

I am so madly in love with my daughter. Deep and pure and unconditional. I cannot believe that I grew this beautiful, perfect, flawless creature inside me, and birthed her from my loins. Birth is a dirty business, one that I was not fully prepared for (who is?) and it was the hardest most fabulous thing I have ever done. The most fulfilling pain. She is such a miracle! Every time I look at her I smile. Without fail. She is such an awesome kid!!

She has two little teeth, and crinkles her nose when she smiles. When she was christened and the priest did the exorcism prayer she puked all over her antique Christening gown. (definitely my child) She will look up at you all cute and then attack! She drew blood the other day! (Why the hell am I proud of that?) Eden has a fierce temper and when she wants it she wants it yesterday. She laughs ALOT...and is fearless. Every time she sees a puppy she tries to eat it. Her hair is a mess, and she snores, just like me. She also smacks in her sleep like her daddy!

When she gets mad she looks just like her Dad. I'm so glad I love that man...if we weren't together that would get on my nerves...alot. My Eden is the coolest kid I know, and I stay up nights planning for the..future. I have so many hopes and dreams for her already. I hope she is a romantic like me, with street smarts like her Daddy. I never want her to experience a broken heart, but I hope I raise her with confidence and self respect. I pray she is brave, and will dream big, and dance, take chances... I want her to be independent, and kind, and smart, and loyal and Happy. Above all else, I want her to be happy.

My beautiful miracle girl...you will never know how much you are loved... I want you to know that all the heartache and waiting was so worth it, and I am so lucky that you chose me to be your Mom. You are my sunshine little girl, and the best thing I have ever done.
