My Baby's 4!

I've been thinking about Abby turning four for a while now, but it never really hit me and sank in, until last night, when I put 4 birthday candles in her cake, and I was like, well this is it, it's official, my baby is 4! Next year she will be going to school, then next thing you know she will be driving and dating and graduating, oh where has the time gone? I'm so not ready! I look at her and she is still so small, yet she's getting so big! My baby isn't really a baby any more, and by the way, she will tell you, "I'm not a baby, I'm a big girl", but I still can't help but call her my baby and like I told her, she will always be my baby, even when she's in her thirties and has kids of her own! I was thinking last night, this time four years ago, I was sitting in the hospital with my husband and my Mom and other family and friends, all looking at my baby for the first time! I waited nine long months to look at her sweet face, and that it was, she looked like an angel to me! If you are not a Mom, you can not imagine what it feels like to love someone so much! I loved my little sister a lot and my nieces and nephews a lot, but it's different when you have your own child, it's this little miracle that's an actual part of you, it is truly amazing! I'm so fortunate to have a healthy and happy baby, excuse me, big girl!
