Ava Sophia is 6 months

Ava,

When mommy was going through IVF, I would often daydream of what it would be like to have a little girl.
I wondered what I would name you, all the life lessons I would teach you, the cute outfits I would buy you.
I wasn’t sure when you were going to come into our lives, but I knew that when you did, it would be everything we ever dreamed of.
You were worth the wait.
From the moment we first saw you on the ultrasound machine, I knew that you would be a healthy, strong baby.
I worried about every little thing when I was pregnant.  I didn’t eat lunch meat, I steered clear of seafood, I didn’t workout too hard.  I just always want the best for you.
Nobody really understood how precious you are to me, because nobody I knew ever had to fight as hard as I did to get their baby.
You are, without a doubt, meant to be.  Don’t ever forget that.
I will always do my best to be a great example for you.  I know you’re always watching and that gives me so much motivation to do great things.
Mommy always wants you to remember that you are absolutely perfect, and loved beyond measure.

Love Always,
Mommy
