It's my baby's birthday. I can't believe it has been two years already! She has made our lives so much more rich, as has her sister, Faith. It still feels like I just brought her home from the hospital; until I look back at how full the last two years have been!
Her eye surgery, ear surgery, visits to children's hospital with 104.5 temps... she's definitely had her share of sickness! I remember she was about 9 months old, the doctor was taking some x rays and I broke down crying uncontrollably. Couldn't stop crying to save my life! The stress of not knowing why she was sick and couldn't get better was too much for me. And as her mom, I felt weak breaking down like that.
But we got through it thanks to Dr. Cobert and Dr. Shelley!
I remember so well the first time I saw her. She was sooo
precious! Weighing only 6lbs 5 oz she looked more like a perfect porcelain doll than a baby. I remember the first night in the hospital; she was soooo good. I had to wake her up to feed her!
I remember vividly her first Christmas...
I remember vividly her second Christmas.
I can recall with perfect clarity her
newborn smell and her tiny fingers and toes... ahhh the twins.
The perfect imperfection of her webbed toe (other foot). Soooo sweet!
I'm a little
sad those moments are gone, but they were so sweet and precious while they lasted. And I'm so excited to see what this year brings; my experience with Faith has taught me that she will be less and less like a baby as the days go by and more and more like a little girl. It's a
bitter sweet day in that regard.
Happy Birthday Gracie!
