today you came into this world, quietly...not because you would be a quiet child but because you couldn't breath, the cord was tight around your neck and you were drowning in amniotic fluid, they whisked you and daddy away without me holding or kissing you. NICU took great care of you until you were released into my arms. Daddy stayed with you the entire time, and called me on the phone and told me you were beautiful, what you looked like and that you were his precious doodlebug. You made an entrance into this world and lucky for you, you had been the only girl born not only that day but within the last few days so everyone on staff cooed over you, and treated you like royalty. I will never forget the first time I layed eyes on you and you looked back at me with your beautiful blue eyes, nor will daddy ever forget you looking at him. You still make our eyes water when you look at us.

We laughed because you wanted to come on Christmas but held out for the 26th because you wanted to make sure you had your own special day, you do and you always will. You are our special little princess and every day I see you growing more and our prayer is that you grow more with the Lord and that you will always stay under the Lord protective covering.

Happy Birthday beautiful girl! We love you.
