To My Beautiful Taylor,
I am so thrilled that you are here and are really mine! You have changed my life forever and have made it so much more rewarding. You are everything I imagined and more. You’ve exceeded all my expectations and redefined the meaning of LOVE.
I’ve been a mom for years now, thanks to your bother and sisters, but it means so much to finally have a baby in my arms. To have YOU in my arms. I know that it was all in God’s plan to have you arrive just early enough so that you’d be here in time for this Mother’s Day.
It’s been my dream to see your Daddy hold our child in his arms after the loss of our Green Beans, and now you’ve made that possible. This was a picture that I longed to see for so long…
You are so precious to me. I want to be the absolute best and to provide the best life to you. I find myself getting distracted in everything I do because I can just get lost in admiring you. Your features are so small and perfect. You are a perfect combination of your Daddy and I.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful- Psalm 139 14
You are such a lucky girl to have four personal angels looking over you. They will always be with you to protect you. I know you will make your brother and sisters proud.
I love you, Taylor Elise. Thank you for making me a Mommy.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby! I am just so very happy for you and your family. I had twins in 2007 born at 23 weeks. I lost my son when he was a month old. My daughter is now 3.5 years old and doing very well. I'm very blessed. I know the pain of losing one child. . .I can't imagine losing four. God bless you and your family. Congrats and Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers Day! Beautiful pictures! You are indeed a Mother so worthy of being a Mother. :) I am so happy for you and your family.
ReplyDeletethe pictures are BEAUTIFUL, but they could do no justice to the beauty in the words you wrote.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you!!
Love the photos, love you, love Tay, love Josh. I am so happy for you that after being a mommy for two years you get to hold your precious one in your arms. We can't wait to hold her ourselves.
ReplyDeleteOh you made me cry at work again.. happy tears this time. I have never been so happy to hear about the birth of a almost strangers baby. I am so very happy for your family. Bless you all!
ReplyDeleteI love each and every picture you posted... so very precious
Dude, these photos are truly fantastic. I'm kind of a tough critic when it comes to these stay at home mommies that call themselves photographers just because they have expensive cameras, but k.c knocked it out of the park, she's a true professional and it shows in these photos.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't know k.c, just giving credit where it's due!
Can't wait to pinch Tay's chubby cheeks!!!
love, love, love the pictures! the one of josh holding his baby girl brought tears to my eyes. makes me so excited to see camryn in her daddy's arms once she makes her appearance.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for sharing your story and being so encouraging to me on my journey. seeing what a true blessing taylor is to your family gives me so much hope and determination to keep enduring the hospital bed rest. i know holding a healthy baby girl will be worth it all in the end!
I'm in tears right now. I'm so so happy for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteJust too awesome for words...
