My biggest girl turns six today. It is hard to imagine that six years ago today I was in the hospital anxiously awaiting the birth of my first child. I had no idea girl, boy, just wanted healthy. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. After 24+ hours in the hospital it was time to push, there was talk of forceps and calling the doctor, I wanted a midwife birth. Of course not being a dummy I did have the epidural. And then the baby was here. It took 10 minutes for anyone to tell me if it was a he or a she. She had to be "worked on" to get her breathing cleared. I got to hold her for what felt like seconds and then she and daddy were whisked away to the neonatal unit. I was given a quick dinner and then shipped to my room upstairs.
Ever since the fateful day Grace has been full of adventure. She has been my dolly to dress up. She has been my guenea pig, my test dummy and most especially she has helped me find the meaning of being a mommy. Whenever I have been sad, mad or in a bad mood, that smile, her hugs and especially her kisses have made it all melt away and I have been swept into her joy. She is super intelligent, kind and caring, inquisitive, somewhat shy, but definitely a talker. She tells it like it is, the good and the bad. She constantly questions everything I do and say.(sometimes annoyingly so). She is my helper, my pleaser and my worrier(she takes after her daddy there). She wants everyone to be happy and hates when people leave our house.
first birthday
second birthday - look mom no hands
This September in Disney
She is a dancer, a swimmer, a dreamer, a princess, a reader, an imaginer, a disney fanatic(like her mom) and a GREAT girl. I can't wait to see how she grows and changes in the next year. I have so many hopes and dreams for her, but I know she is independent and will do what she wants and be who she wants. Here is to another year, may ALL your dreams come true sweet angel.
