Where is the time going? At 7:21 am eight months ago, our sweet Baby Bess entered the world! With each month birthday for my sweet little love, I replay all the events of that early, early morning! I can still remember knowing that Bubba had only been in bed about an hour before I was kicking him telling him get up, we were heading to Charlotte. I can vividly remember the late night phone call to Lacey, who despite the fact that it was 1:00 in the morning sounded over the phone like she had been up doing some cutesy late night craft just waiting for me to call. I can remember texting Lucy on my way to the hospital so she could arrange for me a sub at school. I can still remember telling the front desk at the hospital I didn't need a wheelchair because I thought the whole process would be sped up if I walked to the labor & delivery floor. I can remember how tired all of the family who was there through the duration looked- anxious and excited, but tired! I can remember watching the sun rise from my hospital bed. I can remember when the doctor looked at me and asked if I was ready to have this baby. And of course, last but not least, I will always remember the first time I held my precious miracle. I love to drift back and think about that day. A day where no words really are suitable. The best word I can think of is perfect.
And now here I am. 8 months later, spending my days with a beautiful baby girl whose smiles and slobbery kisses are endless. A baby who loves to snuggle up close for nightime rocks. A baby that was bound and determined to stand long before she crawled. A baby who loves a bowl of babyfood! My little chunk- I love her with my whole heart! (Still not 100% sure who she looks like but what's not to love about chubby cheeks?!)
Dear Bess, I pray that you know how deeply loved you are. You are a heaven sent blessing that we fall more in love with each day! We love being your mommy and daddy! With all of my heart, I love you!
Almost there!
