Lil Weezy, Shelby girl, Sweet Shelby Jean, Lil grunt grunt, are some of the many names we call you.
Out of all the names, there is one that I love calling you the most.
And that is my daughter.
It still seems surreal that I have a daughter. I have a baby. A one month old.
I have always wanted to be a mom. I could feel it in my soul every since I was a little girl.
Here I am living out my dream to be a mother. Each day doing the best I can to lead by example and be someone she can look up to and rely on. Making sure this little human feels safe and loved, always. And here she is showing me the greatest love I have ever known.
It’s interesting to think of all that has happened in life that has gotten me to this current moment. All of the good and quite a bit of bad mixed together to produce a love I’ve never thought I’d get to experience.
And now here I am, I’m in it. I am in that love. The love I feel when I look into this tiny persons eyes and I see all that is good in the world. It’s her. She is that love, that goodness that keeps the world spinning.
Her love saved me in so many ways.
I can’t imagine my life without her in it. It’s hard to even remember what my life was before her. Like what was I doing?
It blows my mind that she is a month old today. It seems like a lifetime and a second simultaneously.
This month has taught me a lot. Most importantly it has taught me how much love can grow. How it grows like a field of wild flowers so vast and with so much beauty it makes you weep.
She is my heart. Giving birth to her changed me at my core and set my soul on fire in the most magical way.
I am so grateful to experience this love, her love.
Each day I love her more and more and I am so so blessed to be her mom.
Happy one month of living on the outside baby girl. Momma loves you so very much ❤️
