Hi baby girl,

If you're reading this, congratulations! You have the coolest mom ever (I'm sure you already know this though). This also means you're educated and are able to read, and that makes me so happy and proud.

I am writing this article in 2016, many years before you were born. I think about you now already and how excited I am to be your mommy, but I am not rushing it because I want to make sure you are born into a stable home and that I can take care of you the way you deserve to be taken care of.

I want to let you know though...it's okay.

What's okay?

1. That boy/girl doesn't like you

It's okay, love. They don't deserve you anyway. They're paving the way for someone so much better to come into your life, please do not stress over them. But...

2. To cry

It is okay to cry...cry your heart out. It takes time to heal, but guess what? I will be here every step of the way to help you, I promise.

3. You don't look like the people in magazines

You are beautiful in your own way and I love you the way you are, and someone else will too. Don't change yourself to try and be someone else, we love you because you are YOU!

4. To make mistakes

You have no idea how many mistakes mom and dad have made. But guess what? You will too, numerous mistakes. Sometimes the same mistake multiple times. It's okay, you're only human.

5. To eat that 4th slice of pizza

Just do it...trust me.

6. Wear makeup...or don't

You are beautiful without it, but if it makes you happy to take your time and use your face as your canvas...do it! You are so talented and you should show it off.

7. Talk to me

If you have ANY questions, please ask me. Don't hide things from me, you're allowed to talk to me about things. Chances are I've been through it too, and if not...we will learn together. I will not get mad at you for being honest with me.

I have so much more to tell you but we will cross those bridges when we come to them

I hope you learned from this.

I love you,

Mom
