Exactly 3 years ago today, I was on my 4th day in the hospital, tucked under thin cotton blankets, holding Chris’ hand, smiling, shaking, anxious-nervous-excited for what was about to be, and ready. I was finally being induced to deliver this precious baby girl and feel her soft, delicate skin touch mine… 3 weeks early.

Every I.V., every bad bowl of hospital jello, every time a nurse chased me down the hall as I tried to escape the confines of my sterile room and herded me back, everything was so immensely worth it.

My life has changed for the better since she’s been a part of it. Home seems sweeter, decisions more important, and the former emotion of my heart seems weak and pale in comparison to the love that possesses me now.

Happy Birthday, sweet girl! I love you!

    It took 4 days to deliver her? You are a champ! Oh, and I had that same blankie for my almost 3 year old. Must have been a favorite from target! : )

    Happy Birthday.

    Haha, ok, with Kelly’s comment, let me clarify. It only took me 4 hours to deliver her, but I had to be in the hospital for 4 days because of preeclampsia, they wanted to keep me on bed rest for those 4 days. 🙂 All in all it wasn’t too bad, but no matter what, it was worth it!

    Wow…she’s is such a doll and sometimes the angels make us work for our special gifts in life. It sound like you did your fair share.

    As I look at this picture, I can’t help but tear up as I realize that next week I will be attending my eldest daughter’s wedding. I can still see her when she was your daughter’s age…enjoy your precious one:~)
