Logi-Bear

 My sweetest Logan James,

How has it possibly been an entire year since you entered my life? You have been our family’s light and joy in the strangest year of all time. Heavenly Father sent you to us at the exact perfect moment, and I know you will do amazing things in your life. 

You were my first child that I felt prompted and pushed to get pregnant with. Dani was still a baby, not even one, when I started to feel a need to get pregnant. You are the first baby we’ve had that we didn’t spend months trying to get pregnant with. I got a positive pregnancy test that very first month! That’s when I knew you were special. 

We thought we lost you at 13 weeks. I cried and mourned for an entire night, positive I had lost the pregnancy. But you again beat the odds, and despite everything you were safe and sound. 

You decided to enter the world three weeks early, but exactly when I needed you to. Your pregnancy was my hardest by far, and I was grateful to welcome you earlier than planned!

The past 12 months you have been out light and joy. You smile easily, laugh quickly, and bring so much happiness to our family. You are mischievous  and quick, you’ve started getting into everything, and I have to watch you like a hawk. You adore your brother and sister, as well as your daddy. 

You’ve started waving and saying night night! You also love to clap, and sneak upstairs into Dani’s room to play with all her toys. 

Baby boy, Logi-bear- I will never be able to write how much you mean to me. Thanks for being my buddy and my friend. I can’t wait to see you grow over the next year - but please, don’t change too quickly. I need you to stay little!

Love,

Mommy
