Three years ago today, our little Gracie girl was born!! God had blessed us with blessing number two!! Now that we know her so well, it is not a surprise that she had to surprise us with an early entrance saying "Here I Am!!". Gracie was born at 36 weeks after an emergency c-section(cord was around her neck), weighing only 3lbs 13oz and 17 1/2 inches long. She was a tiny little thing! She was very healthy, just small; so the NICU was her home for a long 8 days. Today she weighs a healthy 37 pounds, and people always ask me if she and Weston are twins!! (Bless his heart, they are 3 years apart!!) Gracie was a very good baby; sleeping through the night at about 8 weeks! Seriously, sometimes it felt like she was not even here she was soooo good! Weston loved her sooooo much from the day she came home (1st time he really got to see her). He loves being her big brother! She is beautiful, sweet , very strong-willed, fiesty, and keeps us laughing! She loves milk, cheetos, apple-cinnamon nutri grain bars, Baby dolls, Max & Ruby, watching tv, changing clothes 10 times a day, Weston, Daddy, and most of all.....her paci and lovey("nite-nite"). Yes, we are working on that, a little at a time for my sanity!!! I can't believe my babies are growing up so fast, so sad to me.
We woke up this morning, sang "Happy Birthday" and opened a few gifts. We couldn't go anywhere special because they both have strep throat!!!! They are feeling better now, good enough to make some cupcakes for dessert tonight! Gracie kept saying " I'm ready for the fire on my cupcake"!! Here is a video from tonight! (please excuse Weston's bad manners!!)
Happy Birthday Gracie... WE LOVE YOU!!
