3 Years Ago Today




A miracle happened. I gave birth to a gorgeous 9 lb. 1 oz. baby girl. 18 hours of labor (3.5 hours just pushing). This is how I know I could run a marathon. Piece a cake. A miracle because just 2 years later I was unable to do the same thing with an 8 lb. 13 oz. baby boy. A miracle because she has made me smile every single day since she has been alive. A miracle because she makes the world a better place with her happy sweet self.
