I've been following the above blog for a month or 2 now. What an amazing story, amazing family, it just humbles me. Take a look if you have the time, or even if you don't.
This is a list "for Tricia" - all the things she will one day experience with her baby girl born at 24 weeks. As a mom of 2, I have lots to add! :)
- Watching as your baby girl begins to crawl, then walk, to explore the world
- Teething, lots of drool, crabby baby, sleepless nights, Tylenol
- Ear infections, when she wakes up screaming at night and won't stop
- First foods, huge messes on the high chair. I can especially remember pink yogurt and chocolate pudding being particularly messy.
- Naked baby running through the sprinkler
- First time with a babysitter, being so nervous and finding out she didn't even miss you very much
- First words, learning to count, the first "I love you"
- Arms up high wanting only momma to pick her up
- Rocking a sick baby to sleep and not wanting to put her down
- First day of school, heart aching but smiling at the same time
- When she only wants to wear the same shirt, day after day, it is her favorite after all
- Toddler independence, only wanting to do things "by herself" no matter how difficult
- Pierced ears, nail polish, glitter, stickers, bows, make up, lip gloss, all things girl
- And many, many, many other amazing things to look forward to.
