We would like to introduce our baby girl Katelyn Marie Floyd!
Born at Fauquier Hospital on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 at 4:34 p.m. Weighing in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces and 20 inches long.
Dear Katelyn,
I don’t know if I can accurately put into words just how
excited I am to finally meet you. These past few weeks have seemed like an
eternity and the anticipation has been overwhelming at times. Since I found out
I was pregnant with you my life has been forever changed. Becoming a mom
doesn’t start at birth, it starts the moment you find out you are pregnant –
one day you’ll know just what I mean when you become a mom yourself. I feel as
though I already know so much about you even though we’ve never laid eyes on
each other.
Ever since the day that daddy and I found out we were
pregnant my thoughts have been entirely consumed with you and everything I’ve
done has been with you in mind. It’s been a joy watching my tummy grow larger
and feeling you grow inside of me. Feeling your gentle nudges and kicks have
been the best parts of my day. I love that when I get distracted by something
you gently remind me you’re there by kicking me in the ribs or nudging me with
an elbow. As if on cue, you nudge me now; you must know I’m distracted with
writing this letter.
Although I don’t know everything that you’re future holds I
have been dreaming of all the potential your life holds for you. I often think
about all of the things that we will be able to do together, all the laughs
that we’ll share and the memories to be created. Life will go by so fast; it is
my hope that you are able to enjoy every second of it and live life to its
fullest. I know I will cherish every moment that I have with you as my little
baby nestled in my arms. I can’t wait to watch you grow and be a role model
that you can look up to. Life is a journey and I will be there to help guide
you every step of the way.
Katelyn, I am so honored to be your mom and so blessed to
have you in my life. For now I will continue to dream about you and look
forward to our first few moments together. My life is so much more complete with
you in it. I love you, baby girl.
Love,
Mommy
