Baby’s First Christmas!

Christmas sure was awesome with Taylor! What ever did I do before this precious baby came into my life?!?

It is such a joy getting my sweet little girl all dressed up for the holiday! We got all prettied up for Christmas Eve service. She sported her fancy new dress, tights, and paten leather shoes. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that!

And, like always… she was just a doll baby! I think she knows she is cute.

Christmas morning was such a joy with Taylor! This was the first Christmas that I was excited to wake up since I was a little kid! I didn’t even care what I got for Christmas – it was all about her! Watching the excitement in her eyes as she (tried) to open each gift was so much fun. Christmas came at the perfect time for Taylor; she is right at the age where she loves anything paper, so tearing open gifts was fun for her. Everything she got went straight in her mouth, even the name tags! Yum, those pretend cell phones taste amazing!

My holidays keep getting better and better with this baby by my side! Heck, any day is an absolute blessing with Taylor. She is the light of my life!

Just My Story...

Over the past three years my life has been flipped upside down. I am 31 years old and have 4 beautiful angel babies, who are fondly known as my “Green Beans”. The first of my quads, Heidi, held on as long as she could and was born on January 31, 2009 after pPROMing at 17 weeks. A few weeks later, I pPROM’d with my sweet Lily. Lily, Paige, and Rylan were all born at 22 weeks on February 23, 2009. Just after being released from the hospital empty handed, I returned with a high fever and infection. Two of the nights I spent in the hospital that week, I honestly thought I was going to die. It was the sickest and most hopeless I’ve ever been. I’m pretty sure my diagnosis was a broken heart.

My journey to parenthood has definitely had its share of happiness and heartbreaks. I got through every day by staying close to friends and family, blogging, and trusting in God that my future will be bright. All the love and support I’ve gotten has greatly helped me manage……I am alive and well, and want to be my absolute best as a result of this.

On May 1st 2011, we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Taylor, into this world. She is my miracle baby and brings so much joy and happiness to my life. She is my reminder every day that God is good and faithful.

I have come out of all of this with a better appreciation of life. I hope to make the best of this situation by helping others who will experience a similar loss.
