Ten years later

I clearly remember when the doctor told me the news.  I still can't explain what I felt that day.  I was going to be a mom and so many things were going through my head.

Although I had a very calm pregnancy, except for all those months I spent throwing up, and those days when any simple smell would make my head explode.  I ate a lot (whenever I could), she was born unexpectadly before her due date, through a C-section -little lady decided that I should spend my Christmas in my pajamas, while taking pain killers for the surgery.

When she was born, the doctor put her on my chest and when I saw her tiny little fingers, her cute little toes, her amazingly long hair, her black eyes staring at me, I felt blessed, unfortunately, the doctor pulled her away because she was early and needed to be placed in the incubator for a few hours, but boy! That girl changed my life forever!

Ten years have gone by and as I see her growing, I can't believe that she is a little piece of me.  She looks so much like my brothers. 

For her birthday, I made her favorite brownies cupcake from The Cravings Place, we didn't use the chocolate chips because they contain soy lecithin, and she can't have that.  The family got together for a nice dinner, of course, we had to make something special, she requested to have enchiladas, and her dad could not resist.

Since her little bike was falling apart, well, you can guess what she got, right?

My daughter is my best friend, and I cannot see my life without her.  We ask God to help us guide her in His path.

Happy birthday, Nana!
