Dearest Little One,

There will be days that you doubt. You'll doubt your worth, inner strength, abilities, sanity, beauty and a multitude of other very valid aspects of your life. I do not know how doubt will manifest in your heart and soul, but for me, I just kinda shut down for a bit to figure it all out.

Please know that you can always come to me. I love you and there is nothing in this world that you should ever feel as if you have to hid from me, because whether or not I've been through it before, I'm here for you and would totally throw myself on a bee for you.

Your Momma

Secrets are hard to share when you love secrets as much as I do. I've always loved having secrets. Secrets about me, about others, what have you, I just adore the little buggers. Well, probably the biggest (or smallest) secret I've ever had has now been revealed to most of the pertinent parties involved–and I'm over the moon :)

I feel equally thrilled as well as blessed to know that we spend a third of our day with such caring group of people. I am starting to realize that there are few things in life that are as exciting, humbling and positively pure as the love that is shared when the news of new life is made known.

Jellybean, you are one lucky kiddo.
