today my youngest is turning three! i just can't believe it. i hope in twenty years i am saying the same thing "where has the time gone?"
i remember gearing up for her arrival not really knowing what to expect. my older two kids were somewhat easy arrivals but lucy's i was nervous about. i had an almost three year old at home and a 15 month old. unless you've ever had that combo you have no idea how hard it is.
the first year was rocky. lucy was collicky but so sweet. i loved her...i hated her. i loved my life...i hated my life. i couldn't imagine my life any different.
lucy is amazing. she is hysterical, beautiful, independant, caring, nudgy and wonderful!
lucy-i love you so much...more than you will ever know. i can't believe you are three today and i can't wait to see what the years bring to us through you! you are a joy to have around and i love you with all of my heart. happy birthday lucy lovey!
Isn't it amazing how we cannot imagine our lives without any of our children once they arrive? They each fill us with such richnes and joy-each so unique and so wonderful. And yes, you will still feel the same way in twenty - or thirty - years. Your memories will be your greatest comfort. And some day your grandchildren will bring that joy back to you all over again! It's a wonderful thing...
ReplyDeleteAre you really up at 3am bloggin???
the time must be off...no...never up at 3 to blog.
ReplyDeleteYay Lucy! I still remember her birth albeit in kind of a haze...can't imagine how you must've been feeling with your two little ones at home on top of it all! But, I remember how precious and tiny she was when I held her for the first time and I can't believe she's a walking talking human! :) Happy Birthday Lucy! You will never have an aunt who is prouder than me of who you are and who you will become!!!
