Dear Baby Girl,

Your Daddy and I were surprised when the technician told us you were a little girl, yet at the same time our hearts already knew.  When others would assume you were a boy I'd always point out the fact that you could still be a girl, and during a quiet time God told your Daddy you were a girl.  I am so excited for you to get here, to see who you look like.  Will you have my blue eyes?  Will you have Daddy's curly hair?  

I want to do you right, I want to love you so well that a day doesn't go by where you don't doubt the great love surrounding you.  I want to raise you up, knowing the great love of our Father, the one who spoke you into existence and knit you together within me.  I want you to know the great love your Daddy and I have not only for you but for each other, may we show you a family striving for what God desires a family to be.  

I want you to know the sky is the limit for what you can be.  Baby girl I will rally behind you always, Ninja Turtles for your third birthday, and a tea party for your fifth, whatever your little heart desires to be I will cheer you on.  In a culture that has such high and unrealistic expectations for women, may you always know God's expectations of love and how He sees you.

You, my sweet baby girl are already so loved, sometimes I don't think my heart can fully handle it, may I spend the rest of my life trying to show you this love.

My wild flower.
