In a heartfelt message to her baby girl she penned: "Even on the hardest of days/toughest of weeks - the moment you kick me, I smile, I feel blessed. "Grateful beyond words. You’re so strong already- it’s like you can sense when I feel lost or weak.
"You karate kick me and remind me how strong I am. You remind me of everything that matters and you encourage me to give thanks at the end of each day.
"A few moments of gratitude doesn’t seem enough for such a blessing.
"You remind me how important it is to take care of my body, to eat well. To breathe clean air. To look after my mind- to release my worries for you, because I want YOU to feel calm.
"In the weirdest of ways you’re really taking care of me. Thankyou baby girl …for reminding me of all these things."
