6 YEARS

6 years ago Sunday, I delivered my first Child.

It was a girl, and I knew it would be due to an ultrasound.

I knew I "loved" her as, I was supposed to

and I knew that she would come early as I was having problems early on.

I knew she would have a dimple ( I just didnt know it would be in her chin)

and I KNEW that she would be spoiled being the first grandaughter on both sides.


what I didnt know was..

How MUCH I would love her. How I couldnt hardly breath the first time I was away from her. How much I would cry for joy and how much pain I would be in when she was.

I didnt know, that the love would be so INSTANT and the rage I can feel welling up if she gets hurt by someone intentionally.

I didnt know how much she would have us wrapped around her finger. How much I would just love looking into her sweet little face.

How much her smile would light up my life and little things like buying diapers would now be fun.

I didnt know that she would be my best friend... or as sweet and kind and tender hearted as she is...

6 years ago Sunday I gave birth to my first child and altho I thought I knew alot, I knew nothing and still continue to learn. The Lord is so good and I am ever so thankful that he entrusted me with her... she is beautiful... and a blessing to those around her.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful baby girl...

here is a picture of her at about 12 hours old!

I know exactly what you meant when you said that you could not breathe the first time she was away from you. This is how I felt too. What an amazing feeling that God works in a woman when she becomes a mother. I am so glad I embraced it to become a full time, stay at home, homeschooling Mom.

I am so glad too. I remember when Dh and I first discussed homeschooling. I SO did not want to homeschool even tho I KNEW I had to, but thankfully the Lord changed my heart and I Love homeschooling and SO thankful for the opportunity to homeschool my children.
