I never in my life thought 6 months could fly by so fast. I feel like it was just yesterday that my daughter was born. She is the little girl I never knew I needed. It makes me laugh to think back to many of the moments in the months before she was born. Like when we told the boys we were having a baby, A responded with, "Mom! I thought you said we weren't going to have any more of those!" Or when D read the ultrasound picture with the word GIRL out loud for the first time to which his brother responded, "I already knew it was a girl because I saw eyelashes in one of those pictures."
I vividly remember the ultrasound tech saying, "It looks like you have a perfect, healthy girl growing in there." Whoa. A girl. A thousand things must have flashed through my mind at that moment. I know for sure my first thought was that I was so thankful she was healthy. Then, I pictured a little girl with blonde pig tails chasing her 3 big brothers and playing in our yard and was overcome with emotion. And yes, maybe for a moment, I considered that there would not be one more to join in the wrestling. That was just the beginning and we are only 6 months into this adventure with this little girl. I am enjoying this baby stage in every way and can honestly say I appreciate ALL the little things this time around...the dimply smiles, the way her brothers love her, and the silly songs my husband makes up for her when he is holding her. But, most of all I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.
