Hattie's Birthday {letters from momma}

Dear Hattie,

We love you so much.  It's been two fast years since you joined our family, but somehow it feels like we wouldn't exist with out you. You are a daddy's girl on all accounts, but you still love your momma to rock you and "read animals" at bedtime.  Your brothers adore you and have quickly become your best friends, playmates and protectors.  I'm not sure who they would even be without you here.  You are the most loving, inquisitive, determined, strong-willed, funny, entertaining, confident and serious toddler I've ever known.  I'm so excited that God chose me to be your mom, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my days loving you. You are God's perfect creation, and He had a plan for you before you were even created.  I don't know if I've ever shared this story with anyone, but before I was even pregnant with you the name Hattie was put on my heart. Then, when I found out I was pregnant, I prayed a prayer I've never prayed before.. I told God that if it were in His Will, I'd like a baby girl please:).  You are everything and even more than I ever hoped or imagined you would be.  Thank you for making my secret dream come true.  I love you to the moon and back.

Momma
