Happy 4th Birthday Baby Girl!


"Happy Birthday to you; Happy Birthday to you..Happy Birthday Mommy's big girl...Happy Birthday to you."

Jenna I can't believe you are four years old, seems just like yesterday you were a baby, and now look at you- your a little lady. It hit me today that four years ago as of 4:30 am on the 22nd I started to go into labor, and over the next twenty four hours it will be lots of uncertainty something I've had never done before. But then at 1:36 when they laid your warm little body on my chest, my life changed. I fell in love; deep deep in love with you. Its funny I don't remember much about that day; I don't remember much about the hospital stay at all, but I do remember how it felt to hold you in my arms for the 1st time. Now your four, and just like the hospital I don't remember every moment of the past four years; seems like you've gone from baby to 4 in no time. I think of everything you've learned over the past four years; I think of the fun times we've had and then the not so fun times- but the one thing I know I will always remember how good it feels to still hold you, to watch you sleep, or watch you playing when your in your own little world. Alot has changed in our world over the past year; you've become a big sister. And your a great big sister, you have such love and compassion for Kara, she is so lucky to have you. Another important thing is that even if it was just a short while when we lost two important people in our family Mimi and GG- I hope that you remember them, the love they had for you and the times you spent with them. You were special to them and that's very important for me to tell you!! Well I hope you enjoy your day. Love you baby girl!!
