These pictures were taken the week before I had my daughter.
I had my daughter when I was 14. She was certainly a surprise, but I have welcomed her and cherished her since the moment I found out.
This is Emma with her older cousin Lily the day we brought her home.
Emma was a wonderful baby, never fussy, always content and slept through the night at 8 weeks old.
My daughter has always been my driving force in life. She has been such an amazing blessing.
Emma and I when she was 2 years old.
So last night as I discovered all of these pictures I began to ache even more so for another child. Today my almost 4 month old niece came over to spend the day. When I took her blanket off I saw she was wearing one of my daughter's baby outfits. I remember putting it on her with such love. It's such a precious outfit.
(Clearly giving me a thumbs up.)
Reagan Lane is such a sweet baby. She reminds me of my Emma Grace at the same age. So even tempered. Seeing her in Emma's outfit today has made the baby timer tick faster and harder. I can't wait to have another.
They are beautiful babies - it is definitely a time to cherish. Thank you for sharing this lovely post. I also feel very blessed to be a mother, it is the most important job in the world.
ReplyDeleteChildren truly are a wonderful blessing. Luckily for me I have 3 nieces on my side of the family and one on my husbands side of the family so I am constantly surrounded with little ones even though we only have one. Today we are spending the day with our niece Madison who is 3.
