Hey sweet pea,

I can’t believe it’s already been a year! When I found out I was pregnant with you, it was a little bit of a shock. We weren’t planning on another kid so soon and the timing was all wrong. But you were supposed to be here. And I’m so glad that Heavenly Father knew that. While I was pregnant I was so worried that I wouldn’t know how to love you. But after you were born I quickly realized that you are so different from your older sister and that I could have an individual relationship just with you. You have helped me learn so many things and realize things that I didn’t know. You’ve helped me overcome struggles and trials and you’ve given me so much hope. You are so spunky and silly and I love it! You’re a little stinker sometimes and you always keep me on my toes but your smiles and smirks make everything better! I’m so glad you came to our family and I can’t wait to see you grow!!

Love mama
