Today is Annabelle's 2 month birthday and in a few hours will be her 2 month  "angel" birthday...
It feels like ages ago that I delivered Annabelle and was  able to hold her in my arms.  I remember her sweet little face and the pure joy  I felt when she was first laid in my arms.  I remember that all my fears  vanished for those few short hours, and I was able to just enjoy being her mom.   I miss that so much tonight.  I miss feeling her movements when I was pregnant  with her and I miss being able to see her beautiful feet, hands, belly, face...   I miss all of her.  My body aches for her and the memories of her that will  never exist.  I know that she is safe, happy, and perfect but I am still her  mommy and want to be able to see for myself that she is cared for.  I know this  is illogical and possibly even quite silly, but I can't help it.  I want to see  her and know that she is happy, but I suppose that's where faith and trust come  to play.    
I came on here thinking I was just going to write briefly about  beginning a new job today and didn't realize how much this being Annabelle's 2  month birthday impacted me.  I can honestly say that there isn't a moment that I  don't have Annabelle in my thoughts, but I am so scared that one day I will  forget, even if it's just for a moment, and I do not want that.  I want her  memory to stay strong and clear.  I want to remember how she felt in my womb,  and then in my arms, how she looked, her warmth when she was first born....  And  I feel that if I let go then I won't be able to do that.  
I miss you so much  Annabelle.  I love you with all my heart and I hope you can hear when I talk to  you.  I am sending you hugs and kisses on this special day. And I am sending my  love.  



Happy 2 month birthday Annabelle!
