When I was 5 months pregnant with Ellie, the doctor told me she would die. He literally said that. If the pregnancy continued as is, she would die. I hired a nanny for Jayden, basically lived in the hospital, ate literally everything, and willed for Ellie to grow.
She was born barely 5 lbs at 36 wks — after 28 hrs of labor, 26 of them without epidural.
I love this child of mine beyond what I signed up for and far greater than I ever thought humanly possible.
Ellie, I love you no matter what you do or don’t do. I would give up my entire self over and over just to know you are safe and good. Nothing can change my unconditional and absolute love for you because you are mine.
Thanks for being the cutest human on earth, the best cuddles, hilarious, and intuitively empathetic and generous. I love that you love money, food, cats, Avatar, and a few humans. But most of all, your mama. I really am the lucky one.
Love you so, so much. Happy birthday, my Ellie.
I was completely at my end and perplexed as to what to do. Idk why or how I know but I just hugged her and said over and over I love you. I’m not going anywhere. I love you. I’m not going anywhere. She sunk her shoulders, cried and said she was sorry.
Ellie, there is no limit to my love for you. I love you no matter what you do or don’t do. I love you because you are my daughter and I am your mommy. I would give up my entire world and self for you. Because … you a
Moms are crazy.
