These letters are being printed off and added to a binder that I will eventually present to my girls when they are old enough to read them. I plan to try and write a letter at least once a month to each of my girls. I thought that it would be nice to share them with all of you as well. 🙂
     Wow, it is hard for me to believe that as of today you are 3 1/2 months old! Gosh it seems like just yesterday that I found out that you would be joining our family! I can still remember everything that lead up to that day…although it wasn’t all pleasant it was worth it to have you.
     I have wanted to write this down since you started giving me a hard time during the pregnancy. Girl, all I can say is that you better be glad I love you! I mean really let me just list all of the “fun” things you helped me go through:
morning sickness for 9 months, extreme back pain, contractions for about 4 months, massive constipation (yeah I know eww), constant worry, and about 8 hospital trips before you were even born!!
     I am happy to say that even with all of the complications and pre-term labor issues that we had you were born a perfectly healthy 7lb 2 oz baby girl! You were adorable and I fell in love the second they laid you on my chest..well honestly I was in love way before then.

| The day you were born 🙂 |
     Even though I had such a tough pregnancy I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. You are more than worth any pain, worry, or hospital bill I will ever have. When daddy and I found out about you we were super excited. However, our excitement was nothing compared to your sisters! Gosh how she wanted you! If you are every curious where your name came from…well let’s just say your sister is obsessed with Barbie movies right now and we let her name you. I hope you like it…we thought it was a pretty name.
     Now that you are home I have to say that it took quite an adjustment to get used to staying up all night again. Luckily you were a very good baby and started sleeping through the night, mainly, about a month ago. You continuously amaze me with your development and accomplishments. So far you are already able to:
Hold your head up (you could do that the day you were born), roll over (by accident every now and then), hold on to things (you have one heck of a grip), giggle/laugh, follow things with your eyes and head, I even think you have some teeth coming in! (We are going to the doctor soon to get a check up so I will let you know then for sure!)As of today you are doing wonderful! You are happy, healthy, and absolutely beautiful! I hope you know how spoiled and loved you are. I am a little worried because you have gotten extremely attached to me right now. You will hardly let your daddy hold you. Although it hurts his feelings a little he knows that you don’t mean to. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I am staying at home with you. I hope that you will grow out of this soon, if not we may have to start letting you spend more time away from me in order to stop it. I don’t want you to be so attached that you scream bloody murder when you don’t see me around. (which is pretty much what you do right now)
     Okay, time for a little bit of embarrassment! Hehe…you absolutely have the stinkiest, nastiest, gross diapers ever! You literally stink up the entire house when it is time for a diaper change! I am not sure why it smells so awful…but I am hoping to figure it out soon! Even with the powder smell diaper bags it still smells pretty rank in your room if I don’t empty the trash every few hours.
    I love that you already have a sense of humor and a cute little personality. You laugh and smile at me anytime I lay you down on that changing table! It’s like you know what I have to do and how awful it is for me! You also have decided that it would be awesome to literally wake up screaming…I mean your eyes aren’t even open and you are already screaming at the top of your lungs. Not sure why you do this but it sure gets our attention pretty quickly.
     You are growing so fast that I just don’t know what to do! I am happy and sad all at the same time. I’m not sure how I am going to handle my little girl growing up…I hope you and your sister will be able to help me through this!
