Now She is Three

Three years ago today there was suddenly a pointy-headed screaming pink newborn in my life. I mean, I knew she was in there all along, but there's a disconnect between the squirming creature in your belly and this perfect (to you at least) baby in your arms. The whole process of her joining us out here was completely shocking to me; even so, it was one of the best things I've ever done, creating this perfect beautiful human.


Sure, those early days were not the easiest, but three years later my memories are mostly of the fond, rosy variety.


A year later she was a mobile, smiley, adorable not-so-much-baby. It really is amazing and not quite fair how quick they go from squirming pink blobs to little people.

Fast forward yet another year, and there was a talking, running toddler in my house.



Today. Today there is a three year old in my house. Three is so vastly different from two, which was vastly different from one, and so on, yet, she's still my same girl, one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen in real life, the person who daily makes me glad I decided to become her mom.


Happy Third Birthday to my sweet little Bitty (even if you aren't so little any more)!

She is such a beautiful girl, and really getting so big. I can't believe our babies our three. THREE! Happy Birthday, Gabbie!

Oh, my heart... they are both so beautiful and you seem so calm and confident in motherhood. It's so lovely to see this progression, time passing each of us coming into her own as a mother, woman, writer. So happy for you.
