I sit here wading through tons and tons of pictures of my beautiful little girl (yeah, like most families, ours has more pictures of the oldest) and I thank God for entrusting her to our care 6 years ago. Today is her birthday and I am so proud to be her mom. Where did the time go?? I remember when the doctor said her heart rate was low every time I pushed and they had the NICU staff ready to whisk her away from our room.
She came out and there was no cry…just whimpering. I wish I could say that it’s because she was so well-behaved when she entered the world but sadly, it’s because she couldn’t breathe too well. The doctor smacked her bottom and she just looked around. I got to see her for a minute before they took her away and she was the cutest baby ever! I remember the following hour or so…her dad was so wound up & worried…it was a scary few hours until they said everything was ok. Memories…(sigh)
Mikayla is a caring, polite, silly, and very intelligent little girl. She is always my GPS when we’re driving, my memory when I forget things and a constant mirror… yup, a true reflection of me… all the good AND the ugly! HA! She’s so lovable and yet, we butt heads like bumper cars!
Let’s just say she challenges me to be a better mom and wife. She’s an amazing big sister especially when it matters most (outside the home) and she’s an incredible helper. She loves to sing and dance and reminds me to stop and enjoy the moments we have together. To many more baby girl… Happy Birthday Mikayla Grace George!
