They grow up too fast... to my Phoebe E'dele.

It seems like only yesteday I found out I was pregnant and now you are almost 7 months old. I must admit, when I found out I was pregnant back in March 2010, I was not at all happy. I cried for three or four days. I was in the middle of planning my wedding when I found out and I was disappointed. The only thing I could think about was that I did not want to be waddling down the aisle. It reminds me too much of Miss Sophia marrying Harpo in, "The Color Purple." I could imagined my mom and my sister saying, "Big though!" (You got to see the movie or read the book, its one of my favs.)It was the end of March and the wedding was originally planned for August, I was already 8 weeks. We moved the wedding up to May. You came late in the fall on October 25. I couldn't believe I was having a baby girl. Benjamin, my son now 5, was excited to finally have someone to play with. Our family and friends blessed us with so many gifts, prayers, and support. Today, I look at you now no longer disappointed. I suppose things happened for a reason. I was blessed with you, my baby girl. I love you so much. I wish you could stay this size forever but now you are almost 7 months wearing 12 month clothing. You are trying to crawl but its more of a scoot. You are finally holding your bottle on your own. You fill our conversations with baby gibberish. Anything that goes in your hand goes in your mouth. You are teething now so we go through a ton of bibs and cloth diapers everyday. The poop, oh, we are not even going there. ;-)  I'm so sorry I sobbed alot when you were inside me. I once read if you are depressed alot during your pregnancy, your baby would be a whinner. That is so not true. You are a very, very happy baby. Now, when I look at you and I'm sad about something, upset about work, whatever, I look at you with those tight eyes and that gummy smile, and my heart melts. You are my angel!
Now, we have all these baby clothes that you can no longer wear. I want to keep them all but, we have no where to put them. Your legs are strong (really strong) you like to kick (and kick hard). I wonder what you will be when you grow up, a swimmer or a female kick boxer, lol. Your lungs, don't get me started. You let us know when you are not happy, but that's ok. You are a princess, our princess, and we want you to stay happy. Hopefully, one day when you are older, you will log on a read through my ramblings. Until that day comes I will be blogging here and there about you and Benjamin, until I can blog no more.
