Right now it is one year and one day since I started with the birth. Tonight it’s a whole year since I got to meet you the first time.
I am just as moved today as I was when I was in the hospital after a long, exhausting but absolutely fantastic birth. I never thought it was possible to be so devoted to someone as I am to you, Celine. I never thought it was possible to turn your life upside down in as few seconds, but that day I learned that I would be your mum were all completely different, and I can not count on two hands how often I have thought; «Why have not I done this before? Why wait. This is just to amazing!!» You did not come a day early (literally * laughs *), but not late. I love every second I get to spend with you and miss seeing you every second of every day. To get to stay home with you for 10 months meant that I got to know myself again. It gave me the opportunity and strength to do things I otherwise never would. We are a team, you and I! We are strong, and from the first moment I met you I know who you look like. You’re as determined as your dad and just as stubborn as me. One thing I can promise you girl, you are going to achieve what you want in life. And we will do everything we can to help you there on the road.
Happy Birthday Celine. The world’s most beautiful, kindest and best daughter. I am so unbelieveable proud of you. And I love you so much that only a mother can understand. Thank you for being who you are.
XoXo mommy ♥
