Seven Years & I've Been Blessed

~Happy Birthday Princess~



She turned 7 today, 7! She was my first c-section baby...oh how I cried. I can remember being angry, thinking to myself...I failed. She was 9lbs 3oz, I know...big baby for a little lady. Did I eat to much? I tried to figure out how she came to be so big. Then I figured it out...life happens!

Failed...I did NOT! She's my beautiful, big, trendsetter, go getter...baby girl :)

She got her first library card yesterday, she is so proud. "Mommy, I'm going to be responsible for my books and my card". I told her that I'm counting on her to keep her word because your word is sometimes all you have.

Tonight, before midnight, she said her older brother and sister told her that she's never gonna be 6 again. I asked her what does she think about that? She said, "I'm going to say a pray for me because this is the last day I'll be 6 and I want to be happy about turning 7".

Lesson Learned: Saying goodbye to yesterday and looking ahead to tomorrow can make all the difference in the world!

Let go and live life ~

Aw, look at her. Happy Birthday baby. And you should count your blessings that you didn't have to give birth to her in the "conventional" manner. Can we say "ouch"!

Happy Birthday Gabby! Sounds like you're more than ready for the transition into a new year of life...good for you!

Lisa, it's always wonderful to see a post from you. Know that you're missed when you're away!

Renee, I don't know if there are too many circumstances when I would consider the pain of "conventional" childbirth better than the pain associated with major surgery, and the 6 weeks it takes to recover from it. Trust me...and Lisa on this one.

God Bless You All!
