Dear Maggie,

I think you are such an adorable baby. I want to raise you as a strong girl. I want you to be kind and smart and confident. I hope you wont think that looks are everything. Having said that, I just want to say that I think you are stunning. You are so beautiful. And it's not just me. Today I took you to a friends house for a play group and you started crying while I was downstairs with Max. My friends got you out of your car seat and I could hear them admiring you. They kept saying how beautiful you are. I thought maybe it was just my mama pride thinking it, but now I know it's not just me who sees it. I love you my beautiful little girl.

Love,
Mom

2 month check-up

Dear Maggie,

Today you had your 2 month check-up with Dr Fox. You weighed 10 lbs 6 oz and are about 21.5 inches long. That means you are about 50% for weight and 25% for height. Ever since you were born you have not been able to breath through your nose. I read that all newborns have congestion so we have been patiently waiting for it to go away. But it should have gone away by 4-6 weeks and you are 8 weeks. And it is so sad because you can't breath very well and you are so noisy and never seem comfortable. So I asked Dr Fox about it and it turns out you have an infection in your nose. The good news is that we can give you medicine and hopefully in a few days you will be able to breath through your nose! And maybe if you can breath better you can sleep better. Fingers crossed! Dr Fox had to take a culture swap of your nose, which you hated! And then you got three needles for immunizations. It broke my heart to take you to the doctor knowing you would have to get shots. I never want to see you sad. It is so hard to know that you will have to experience hard things. Dear baby girl, you are really working your way deep in to my heart. I love you so much!

Love,
Mom

Our daughter is so sweet. She is tired now but we just spent some time talking. I loved it. Isn't she so cute? I think she is ready for a nap now.

Smiles!

Dear Maggie,

In the last week it is like you have suddenly become a little person. You smile now, which is the sweetest thing! Your whole face lights up and it makes my heart sing. I love holding your tiny little body against my chest. When I do I can feel my heart flutter. I am overcome by emotion when I hold you, or see you smile, and think about how lucky I am to be your mom. There are so many things I love about you. I love your chubby little legs and your round body. I love the way you smile with your whole face. I love the little sounds you are starting to make -"Gooah" is my favorite. I love your gorgeous blue eyes. I love the way you stretch when you wake up, and after you eat. But most of all, I love that you are mine.

Love,
Mom
