Happy Birthday sweet Nora.

I will never forget the day that I was told I was going to have a girl! I honestly did not believe it! Growing up I always figured when I had kids, I figured I would have two little girls just like my sister and I. But when you are old enough to realize you don't really have a choice, I wasn't too concerned. I was through the roof happy when I found out Noah was a boy. That's what Jason and I wanted. We wanted a boy, then a girl. I couldn't not believe Nora was going to be mine. Anyone who really knows me, knows that I am all girl. I spent the next 4 months staring at that ultrasound thinking it may be wrong. I kept every receipt just in case. Then the day came and as long as I live, I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on that face. How did I get a baby girl so incredibly gorgeous. Dark skin, dark hair, and flawless. I may be a bias, but she was just beautiful. The perfect combination of Jason and I. Being the second baby, she was just  so much easier to deliver which accounted for how flawless she was. Nora came at a perfect time in our lives. I was losing my mom. I had no idea how much time I had left with her and the stress from that was unimaginable. Nora was a perfect baby. I'm not lying when I say that from her second week of life with us, she was sleeping over 6 hours at night. She never fussed and was incredibly happy. God knew exactly what I needed at the time. She felt like a little angel that was healing my heart everyday. I cannot believe how she has turned into such a funny, sweet, independent, feisty little girl. Every day of my life she does something that makes me say " I cant take it she's so cute".  The love that her and Noah have for each other is awesome to watch. I'm pretty sure they spend 75% of their day together fighting, but they are black and white. When they aren't fighting, they love each other. They hold hands, hug, and say "I Love you". I am blessed. I am Blessed beyond measure with what God has given me. I cannot wait to meet their baby brother in a few months. But for right now, Ill just keep him safe and warm while I spend my time loving on the sweetest little monsters that I know. Happy Birthday Baby Nora, I love you to the moon.
