Mamas first post

     As much as I LOVE showing off my daughter more than anything in this world, I agreed to this blog as a brilliant idea for Riley to be able to look back at..... More like your modern day baby book. So my first entry is to the biggest love of my life in her tiny but mighty package. 

Riley,

     Hello beautiful. I can't believe you are less than a day away from being three weeks old. Little girl..... You are my heart. You came into this world and busted every bit of love I possess clear out of me. I will always be able to look back on these days and remember you and your many different sleepy faces. I will remember how big and blue your eyes are for your little face. I will remember the first time you peed on me.lol. THANK YOU for choosing me my little human being. I thank the universe EVERY single day you did. Your mama loves you more than I can come close to expressing. But I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much I do. 

 Love,

Mama
