Happy Birthday Princess!

Today is Katie's 8th birthday!  

Katie is my first born.

My first baby.

She and I experienced a lot of firsts together!

There's something to be said when you change, grow, or morph in someone different, and motherhood is one of those things.  There are things that you never thought you could do, say, or act upon until you become a mother.  Really, there is no love like the love of a mother to her child.  It's one of the most amazing things to experience!

On Thursday, May 17, 2001, at 5:35 p.m. my first baby, my first born, came into this world.  What a beautiful sight!  My baby girl...how much I fell in love the moment my eyes saw her and when my ears heard those first cries!

Katie was the baby that every first parent wished for.  She was so peaceful and so happy.  She was, still is, perfect.

8 years!  

8 wonderful, tearful, and happy years!

Happy Birthday my Love!
