4 years ago, I got the most amazing birthday gift one could ever receive. My Mickey was born on my 30th birthday. There are so many reasons this is poignant. That day as I was in labor, I thought of my own mother 30 years prior in labor with me, anticipating the birth of her daughter. I felt like she was there in spirit that day! Mikaela was a gift in so many ways. We had been trying for 6 years for a second child. We had experienced 3 miscarriages and I had been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) as a result. Getting pregnant and staying pregnant was not going to be easy. With the help of Femara, a fertility drug, we were blessed with the pregnancy that finally worked and gave us Mickey. I spent a lot of months on bedrest thanks to my ever present preterm labor, but I made it to 36 weeks 4 days, my 30th birthday, and was blessed with the gift of Mikaela Debra, our little miracle! She was a dream come true, such a gorgeous little baby. ♥
This bible verse couldn't be any more true:
"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has
granted me what I asked of him."
1 Samuel 1:27
Now, here we are 4 years later and I can't believe my baby is 4! She is sassy, spunky, naughty, cute, smart and strong willed! She tries my patience on a daily basis, but she always keeps life interesting! I can't imagine a world without my Mickey Mouse. ♥
I am now 34 years old, and I LOVE LIFE!!! Some people are scared of getting older - it honestly doesn't bother me. Life just gets sweeter and sweeter. I don't feel old at all ... still feel like a kid myself! Just living the miracle over here! :-) Me on my 34th ...
