You look at your baby and cannot help but wonder what her life will be like. Seeing her cry now makes me want to cry and this problem can usually be resolved with a snuggle or a diaper change. I pray everyday that she has a life full of happiness and special moments but I know that there will be times where she will be upset and a simple diaper change or hug may not be enough :)
Here are my hopes,dreams and wishes for Annabel:
1. I wish for you, my sweet Annabel to be a very healthy child who grows up to live a very long and very happy and fulfilled life.
2. I hope you have a childhood full of fun and play! Take time to be a kid!
3. I wish for you to have a true understanding of how much we love you...even before you were born we adored you.
4. I wish for a sparkle in your eye...that special something that makes you truly love life and that makes others love being around you.

Okay, you just officially made me start crying. Annabel is going to be an amazing little person because she has such amazing parents! You and Andy are such fantastic people that I know she will follow in your footsteps. And Jen, that sparkle in her eyes? You've had that since the day we met and it's a shine that comes from within. I know Annabel will have the warmth and humor that you and Andy both have. Can't wait to see you all again!
