Lucie is ONE today and I just can't believe it!
Her little smile TRULY melts my HEART!
I thought that I would be sad today because this is my last Baby to turn 1. But I'm not sad at all! She will always be my baby! And she is well aware of that!
(I'm creating a Monster and I love it!)
Today is such a special day because her 1st Birthday is a HUGE deal to me. Not only is this Her 1st Birthday but it is an accomplishment for me because I DID IT!
I Survived a Year with 4 BABIES!!!
I did what I was unsure I could do. I did what nay sayers thought was crazy! I did what the adversary told me everyday that I couldn't do and I WON! I did it!!!!!!! I am so thankful that I have a Loving Heavenly Father who has a plan for me, who knows me and knows what I can handle! He knew that I needed her and He was sure I was gonna get her! But He was SO right! I needed her so much! She has brought me to such a happy place. I had a very hard time accepting her pregnancy and everyday that I've had her in my arms, I've regretted having those feelings. I was scared and felt inadequate to have another child. How could I be everything to one more person? I was not prepared however, for the amount of joy and happiness that this little girl would bring to my life! What a wonderful surprise! She has not only completed our family but she has completed me! She has helped me get back on track to become the Mom that I want and need to be for All of my children. She's just so special! I can't describe it any more than that. I am so blessed and my heart is so FULL!
I know now more than ever that I am never alone (you're probably thinking you have 4 kids,of course you're NEVER alone!). I know that the Lord has been with me every step of the way! He has held my hand, heard my prayers, picked up my slack, and I know He has carried me! I am so thankful for the power of personal prayer! I am so grateful for my Temple Marriage and the gift of Eternal Families! Because these are the people I want to be with FOREVER!
I love you Lucie!
Thank you for letting me love you and loving me in return!
It feels so good to be your Mommy!
You are such a joy and a treat!
and you will ALWAYS be my Precious Pink Baby!
Happy Birthday Hootie!!!
