A year ago today, my life changed because of the birth of my sweet baby girl. She made it known that she was ready to be born early in the morning when my water broke unexpectedly. I remember very little of the evening after her birth but I know I loved her from the second I saw her… from the second I knew I was pregnant.
She has filled me with such joy over the past 12 months. I had no idea my heart could swell so big. I had no idea I could give so much of myself. I was actually worried that I couldn’t love her as much as I love her brother. Boy, was I wrong! The heart is an amazing thing as my love just grew for them both.
We are still breastfeeding and I am so proud. We had so many problems at the beginning and the cards were stacked against us. Despite that, we worked through all the problems and are still spending time each day belly to belly while nursing. That time together is priceless to me. I love that now she can tell me when she wants to eat… that she shakes her head yes when I ask her if she wants her “boobie juice”. Yep, that is what we call it. It works…
Each day with my little girl is a blessing. She is a blessing. I can’t explain the joy I get when I walk into her room in the morning and she is so happy to see me. From that moment until the moment she goes to bed, she fills me with happiness and love.
My life is forever changed because of my precious little girl. She has my heart in her hands. She is the most amazing little girl I have ever seen. She is smart, beautiful, and can make me smile when I am ready to cry. I can’t imagine my life without her and I thank God daily for giving me the blessing that is her.
Happy Birthday sweet baby Joley. I love you more than you will ever know. You are my life… my everything. I am so lucky to be able to be your mommy.
