Just my baby girl.

I don’t even know where to start, sorry if this is a little (okay a lot jumbled) in the beginning, I promise it will get better by the end...hopefully.

   I have been trying to write about Baby Girl but I am having troubles, she is my forever sweet reminder. I didn’t realize how emotional I would be about it.  

I mean it was a year ago that I was in the operating room waiting to hear her scream and to see her chubby little face, but  just hours before I was alone in a room struck with the realization that it was  almost the anniversary of  “the date”. I lost a great friend, and even though she was only fourteen she was the best person I knew. After a year I thought I had healed from having everything brought back but I had merely forgotten the giant Band-Aid.

    I remember thinking that “It’s too soon, which funnily is Baby Girls Motto, she does everything too soon.  After a few days of being off full bed rest, I did what any sane soon to be mommy would do, I went grocery shopping alone (yes, alone at 8 months and 1 week alone, it was my ME time) I told the cashier that this baby wasn’t coming any time soon (HA!), I went home cleaned, napped, started cooking dinner and planning my freezer meals. While cooking dinner, I thought my water broke and having a few contractions. Before I could even finish my dinner (Mongolian beef and rice) I was whisked off to the hospital. My sweet Hubbs, took care of everything, Lime, my hospital bags, even almost carried me, (I refused the wheel chair). He sadly had to leave when it was time for Lime’s bed time, well way after. I was left alone with my own thoughts for a few hours, it was scary. Baby Girl was early, and after trying to escape for a few weeks I couldn’t help but think something might be wrong, (nothing was).

   In this past year I have been blessed to watch my sweet Baby Girl turn in a sweet Little Girl. This little one is so full of life and love and increasingly more every day she reminds me of my friend.  I know that Baby Girl will do great things in life. 

Happy birthday sweet girl.
