It is hard to believe that 5 years ago today I was sitting in a hospital room, scared out of my mind, waiting for my baby to come.
I was terrified.
I had no idea what to expect, and I had no idea that I would love the little thing about to exit my body so much.
No one told me that I would recognize her face, her smell, her cry, everything felt familiar, except the breastfeeding, pooping, crying, and not sleeping parts.
What I thought was the scariest day of my life turned out to be one of the best, Happy Birthday Lala!
Cry!
I know. Last night when I put her to bed, we said good bye to 'Four-year-old-Ella', I cried a little. She said, "Don't cry momma, I hate it when you cry. Don't worry, I'll always be your little girl." *Sob!*
oh … I think I understand. The time is here. They are not babies, not toddlers. They are little girls and it is a heart expanding/ heart breaking experience to watch them grow. Ah well… don't cry too long. She'll piss you off soon enough! ( tongue in cheek )
Happy Birthday Ella and Ella's fantastic mommy.
Ah, thanks! You are a sweetie
I know, I look at her and have a hard time even reconciling this young little girl with the little baby I once held in my arms…Where does the time go?
Happy Birthday, Ella!
Time flies WAY too fast, eh, Momma?
Way too fast, hard to believe it has been 5 years already!
I never thought about how we recognize them the moment they are born — but we do, don't we? My middle one turned 5 in November and she thinks she's a 'teenager' now. Yeah, makes no sense. Happy Birthday ella!
Thank you Kim!
I know, it is weird, there was nothing unfamiliar about either of my children when they were born. It was like I had always known them, even though we had never met before.
Aren't the Ellas the cutest little things? Esp. when they are 5. Enjoy.
