You were born this morning at 10:15 am. It was so easy and I was so happy to be awake for it, since I didn’t even get to see you brother for almost 14 hours after he was born. When I heard you cry, I cried. I could see them taking care of you and your dad cutting the cord. When they told me you were 8lbs and 6 ounces and 20 inches, completely happy and healthy, I was relieved. When you were brought to me and placed on my chest, my heart skipped a beat. When they brought you into the recovery room and you started to nurse, I realized that you are already your own person, this experience a different one for both of us, and this life will lead you in whatever direction you choose. When you pooped three times, I was glad I was in bed and unable to move so your dad had to change you - haha. I didn’t take this for granted - I didn’t have this with your brother, and you already hold a very special, different place in my heart.
We gave you your first name because it was a meaningful event and time in our lives that we cherish and we wanted you to share in something special to us. But I gave you my maiden name for your middle name because I wanted you to have something special from me. I wanted you to carry me, and what you mean to me, with you always. Mabry is a very special part of who I am, and it’s already a part of you. Along with your reddish brown hair, which I apologize in advance for :) You are absolutely perfect and we are so, so very grateful to have you and to be a part of your journey. Wherever the path takes you, know you are always taking a piece of home with you.
I can't make a lot of promises to you. I am probably not going to be even remotely close to perfect. You won't be either. That's the journey of life, not achieving perfection, but rather embracing our uniqueness. I promise you that I will always embrace yours and to never forget how blessed I am to have you in my life. You are in my arms today, coming into this world, and it brings me great comfort to know that I will be in yours when I leave it.
