Dear Rose,
Welcome to the world little girl! So what do you think of life so far? Coming from your cozy, dark world, I bet the lights in the hospital are awfully bright. How does it feel to touch your mommy for the first time on the outside? How does your daddy's voice sound, now that it's not muffled from the womb? Do you like the sweetness of your mamma's milk? What do you think of your grandparents? Are the blankets soft and warm?
By the time you are old enough to answer these questions, you won't remember a time when the world was new. You won't remember back when your mom and dad were just husband and wife, not quite yet a full family. But we will remember.
I will remember your birth as the day that I became an aunt and Jeffrey became an uncle. We have been waiting for a long time to have a niece to spoil and love. I'm so glad that now we have you.
I can hardly wait to meet you. Right now I'm in the hospital, waiting for your cousin Wyatt to be born. Elise and Zion are excited that you have been born. In fact, Elise has volunteered to let you sleep in her room if you like. But I'm guessing you'd rather stick close to your mommy and daddy. So we'll postpone that slumber party for a few years.
Enjoy your brand new life little one!
Lots and lots of love,
Aunt Brooke
Welcome to the world, Baby Rose, and congratulations, Auntie Brooke!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I copied it and emailed it to Amber and Graham in case they'd missed it:) See you in two weeks!! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI read this to her and she loved it. Or at least she showed her usual signs of loving something (i.e. she slept and opened one eye every now and again to see me adoring her.) I love you sweetie, and cannot wait for you to meet her! Right now, she is spending tummy time on her dad's chest and hiccuping non-stop. I cannot wait to meet Wyatt! This makes me want to see his little personality, his little toes and everything else about him. I love you!
