A Birthday Letter to Bay

My sweet precious Bay, Happy 3nd Birthday! This went by way too fast. Can we slow this party down, please? This is your mom and I just want to say it has been the greatest ever being your mom and getting to know you. You are amazing. And don't you forget it. God loves you so much and don't you ever forget that either. This is going to be a little stroll down memory lane....walk with me my sweet girl. You were born at 7:30 am on May 3nd 2006. It couldn't have been a better day. I was so excited to met you, I could hardly wait. It was extra special for me because I knew I was going to get to hold you right away. Much different from my sweet Carys entrance into this world.
So when they brought you over that blue curtain, I lost it. So did daddy. You were a tiny little bundle. And everything I hoped and prayed for. Healthy. With all ten fingers and all ten toes (your dad counted), you were perfect.

So I begged and pleaded with my recovery nurse to hurry me back into my room so I could hold you for the first time. I was only there for an hour, I think I even lied about feeling my legs just so I could get to you. Oh well, I can walk now so no harm in that. And they brought you in and there you were. So tiny, perfect, and so very beautiful. And all mine. That feeling still overwhelms me today. You can not imagine my heart filling with you in my arms. I loved you so much. You made me a better mother that day Bay and I can never thank you enough for that.For my Carys and for my sweet family of four. Happy birthday sweet girl. May you always remember how loved you are in this family. How much Jesus holds you in His heart and how much you changed my life.Love MOM
