Six Years Ago

Six years ago, today, my daughter was conceived. It didn't happen by accident and there weren't candles and romance but there was plenty of love. I celebrate this day almost as much as her birth. A miracle happened and neither of us thought she'd come so soon. So many people try for months and months - including myself - but after three tries, there she was ... a little creation!

She was born very small and very early. She was healthy but she looked liked she'd fit in your pocket. I wondered if she'd ever get to face forward in her car seat. 4 lbs 10 oz. 17". And now she's five! She's a little, energy filled tom-boy who wrestles in princess dresses and high heels. She's so tall and so big. She's smart and sassy and I am more grateful for her than another other piece of this earth!

Six years ago, she was created...and I am thankful for every wish we made that morning that brought her here. I'm still making those wishes so I can finish watching her grow!

It was our third try and she is definitely a charm!
