Dear Evalyn,
I can't believe you are already six weeks old. In one hand it feels as if you've been in our lives forever and in the other it doesn't seem as if it has been six weeks. You have changed our lives forever Evalyn Rae.
My labor with you was completely different than when your sister Loreli was born. Since birth you have proven to be your own person and the complete opposite of Loreli. You were so incredibly tiny when you were born, everyone asked if you were premature. You were my full term tiny little Nugget. I was afraid to hold you or do anything with you because I could barely feel your weight in my arms.
You have a full head of hair, didn't want anything to do with breastfeeding and at 6 weeks old are barely fitting into Newborn sizes. You most certainly have made yourself known in this family. Nothing about you is "normal" or "average."
When I was pregnant I knew that I loved you. I never questioned whether or not I would be able to love two children. It is just incredible that I made two completely different little girls and love you both so much. I couldn't ask for more out of life right now.
When I hold you in my arms, whether you are wide awake and cooing or sound asleep and snuggling, I am captivated by your beauty and presence. I am amazed at how you and your big sister have bonded and connected in such an automatic way. You and your sister haven shown nothing but love to one another since your first day.
You complete our family Evalyn Rae. I fall in love with you all over again every second I am around you. I am captivated by your presence every time you snuggle close to me dreaming away or wiggle around with your big, beautiful eyes looking all around.
Loving you forever,
Mommy
