Happy 4th Birthday to Lil' M!!!

Four years ago at 9:48 pm I gave birth to our first baby girl. Lil' M is growing up faster than we expected. I swear it was just yesterday that we had our first child. It was definitely a challenge since we know nothing. I had so much fun watching her grow up to be such an inquisitive and funny little girl. She has her moments now that she's older and has her own opinions. Overall, she's a sweet girl. I'm proud that I've gotten a chance to have her as my first baby. She means the world to us. Happy birthday to my little lady.

Happy 1st Bday Eva Unit 2

The day has come and my last little baby is now (as of 4:02 AM) ONE years old. I have mixed feelings about it. I'm happy she's been growing and thriving very well and becoming her own little person along with her developing personality. I'm just sad to see that she will eventually learn to be on her own and won't need me as much. The way she looks at me and hugs/kisses me melts my heart. I especially will miss our nursing time. I'm so glad she was able to like it. Overall, I'm eager to see her advance up to the toddler years so she can enjoy more to her life.

She's already taking multiple walking steps unassisted. The look on her face shows of proudness when she walks. I am so grateful we have her with us. I know she was meant to be with us rain or shine. She has been through so much with is even before she was born (Pre-term labor and uterine rupture) and then at her 6 month wellness exam, we found or she had a innocent murmur. That was a scare for me because I'm not familiar with it. However, it's not a heart disease, but just the way her heart is pumping blood (hers has this "whoosh" noise).  Just last month, we followed up at the childrn's hospital and confirmed that she was a healthy baby an no heart issues.  Her murmur is stil there, but just fainter this time. We don't have come back anymore! It may go away in time or stay, but it won't affect her life. It's a genetic thing; Big M had it as a kid and it went away. Anyways, she is my little fierce fighter and won't let anything stopping her from enjoying life! She's our zen Buddha.  

Here's to a happy birthday to my little sunshine ;)!
