There are so many things I want for you...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want you to be a smart little cookie, without being a know-it-all :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want you to love and care for animals and people, but I don't want you to be sad when you can't "fix" everything and everyone. The part that you do will be enough, and I want you to be proud of yourself for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want you to be stronger and more driven than me. If you want to be a doctor, BE a doctor! I will do everything I can to help you get there. I want you to fearlessly chase after your dreams. But, you know what? If you'd rather be a writer or a painter or even a dog walker...I will love you just the same! The most important thing you'll ever be to me is <u>my child</u>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want you to be able to stand up for yourself when others criticize you or tell you that you can't do something. I will always be right there reminding you how intelligent, beautiful, and capable you are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want you to have a deep appreciation for nature. I want you to always enjoy it and protect it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Above all, and what is most important to me, is that you're a happy person. I want you to be in love with life. I want you to wake up in the morning ready for an adventure. I don't want you to be afraid of the unknown or things that are different. I want you to thirst for knowledge and to exude love, kindness, and generosity. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to meet you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I already love you so much. </div>Sarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18345512025469820386noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079650563092323948.post-46885093433287848102012-05-07T16:26:00.001-07:002012-05-07T16:29:22.161-07:00Fun stuff!<div style="text-align: center;">

It's true. All of my selfish desires have been replaced by an intense need to protect and love this little person growing inside me. Nothing has or probably ever will compare to this feeling. I'm already so attached to him/her, and all I can think about is what they will look like, who they will become, and if they will be happy with their life (I want that more than anything!) I know this is going to be the hardest, most rewarding job I've ever had, and I will do EVERYTHING within my power to be good at it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I find myself thinking too far ahead. I just need to learn to relax and enjoy every moment of this experience. I need to take things day-by-day and live by one of my favorite quotes:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And breathe. Can't forget to breathe! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In....and out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
