My baby girl is one today! How far we've come, my sweet daughter. The child I wanted for so long, the daughter I was thrilled to find out I was having, the joy she has brought to our family. At 38 I wasn't even sure I could have another baby and didn't dare dream we would be welcoming a girl.
March 29 2006 started early for me, sitting by the open window in the bedroom at 3.00am feeling the first contractions. By 5.00am my mum was on her way to sit with Ryan and we were getting ready to go to the hospital. By 7am I was somewhere within myself as the pain brought my longed for daughter close. At 8.55am Amelie Maya arrived. A beautiful, warm, early autumn morning welcomed our dark haired girl.
March 29 2007 also started early for me with a 6am feed for my baby. She was sitting in the corner of her cot, waving at me and smiling. After her bottle, she snuggled into me and went back to sleep. I sang Happy Birthday to her while drinking in that soft, powdery, luscious baby smell.
Later it was time to get up and celebrate her day.
Happy Birthday, mama's special little one. You have literally been my dream come true. You are such a funny, cute, lovable, cheeky girl and I can't quite believe you are one already. Your big brother and sister love you and daddy & I - well, we adore you! Thankyou for completing our family.
Oh Sue!!!
This brought tears to my eyes!!!!!
