Journaling to my youngest: My darling sweet Doodle, you are my last and final child. The morning you were born was one of the best of my entire life. Bringing you into this world made me believe that I really can do anything and it solidified the creeping suspicion in my heart that the reason God put me on this earth was to be a mother. With you in one arm, and your siblings in the other, I looked down at you three and felt for the first time that I had my answers. There was no more wondering who I would become or what my legacy would be. I was made to nurture and love you and I will spend the rest of my life doing it to the best of my ability.
We had waited so long for you. I was so full of emotion. I was excited and happy that you were finally here and also sad knowing that you were going to be my last. You’ve brought an additional layer of beauty, sweetness, and joy to our lives that I could never have anticipate I love kissing your chubby cheeks, and your tiny hands, and your little feet. You are truly the most adorable thing I have ever seen. You make the silliest faces, and you have so many different faces. You like to pucker your lips and open your eyes really wide - you do this when you hear a familiar voice, and when you are pooping (haha)! You have your sad face - you make the cutest little frown with pouty little lips. Usually I can make you happy again before the sad face turns into a cry, but even when you cry it's adorable. Then you have your happy face - you smile really big, and even though everyone says smiles at this age are just reflexes - I think they are real. I truly am blessed and so lucky to have you in my life.
