Happy Birthday to you Dory!!

My water broke at 2:30 a.m. and 17 hours later I had my miracle.


How did we do it? How did we blow through 9 years so quickly? Just yesterday I was waking my husband to tell him I was pretty sure my water broke. Just yesterday he drove like a bat out of you know where to get us to the hospital. Just yesterday I wanted another baby, maybe 10 more, the minute I saw her look at me with those eyes that said I have been waiting a long time to meet you. Just yesterday, I became a Mommy. This sweet little person gave me a new name, a new outlook on life, a clearer view than I ever thought possible. This is my girl, my only daughter. What a blessing she is. Even when she gets her sassy mouth going I look at her and can see that sweet, innocent little person she will always be in my eyes.


I love you V. You are more special to me than you realize. I am so happy that God picked me to be your Mommy.

I say it all the time - V is a carbon copy of you. I remember when you taught her to say "what are you, smokin' crack?"
