This page was started for a class that I am teaching. The little boxes below have pop-ups in the middle of them (see the 2nd page), they also contain small blurbs about my thoughts “before her”.The journaling is behind the picture. It was really important to me to journal this to her. I was afraid of hurting my son's feelings but I wanted her to know how much having her meant to me.The journaling reads:Before you I could only imagine what it was like to be the mother of a little girl. I had only known how to be the mother of boys. <br> I had always wanted one more baby. I wanted a healthy baby. The sex of the baby didn't matter. Right before my ultrasound I was lying in bed one night thinking of the wonderful life growing inside of my belly. For the first time ever it hit me……I wanted a healthy baby but I wanted a GIRL. I never realized how much until that moment. I almost cried thinking that I would never know what it was like to have a daughter. I wanted to know that feeling. I wanted her to have her daddy's blue eyes that just danced with life and I wanted to be able to do all the things that mother's and daughters do together. <br> Before you it was only a dream. A fleeting moment in time. The next day I went for my ultrasound. They told me you were a girl. I didn't believe them. I was overjoyed. We were going to have a little girl. Someone to play dolls with, share stories that only girls liked, I was going to have pink in a room! <br> Having you has been a huge blessing in all of our lives. Watching you grow everyday is one of the greatest joys in my life. Your sensitivity, caring, loving and kind ways make my heart swell with joy. You are so very different from your brothers at times and just like them at others. <br> Before you, I never looked at a flower quite the way I do now. I never looked at a frilly pink dress or felt that tenderness that I feel when I watch you be a mommy to your dolls. <br> I never knew there was and emptiness inside of me. I never knew the joy a daughter could bring……. (Before You).****Please ignore 2nd page. I couldn't get rid of it without deleting the whole thing.
