our little princess

will and i both pictured having a boy first, we were SO sure that's what was going to happen.

it's not that we thought we'd love a girl any less, but we were just positive our baby was a boy.

now there's nothing better than imagining all of the fun and joy we will experience with a girl!

lately, i've been feeling waves of responsibility hitting me of just how much i'm being trusted with.

it's hard being born into the world at this time for any gender, but being a girl has it's own stresses.

i never want her to hear me talking negative of myself or see me with low self-esteem.

i want her to know she is a precious daughter of God and her body is sacred.

i want her to hold her head high and believe she is worth more than anything in the world.

i want her to feel safe, loved unconditionally, and that she can come to her parents with anything.

i think just knowing the pressures and emotions that come along with being female myself,

i can't stress enough how i want her to be raised with so much positive,motivating force around her.

and will's going to be ready for those boys when she starts bringing them home. ;)
