Happy 6 Months Reese!

I love you, baby girl. I can't believe I had you 6 month ago today. That was the 2nd hardest day of my life. Everything was going ok until I heard the Dr. utter those words, "You're ready to push" then I completely lost it. But you were in my arms in 8 minutes sharp! I will forever wonder how daddy would react to his little girl. I'm really trying my best to enjoy you, the baby stage, everything about you, all over again. Yet, I feel like I'm being robbed of this special time.. because of everything that I'm dealing with at once. I am so blessed and thankful to have a little girl. You melt my heart when you reach for my face, smile @ me and kick your feet when you spot me across the room. I cannot wait to watch you and Will grow and play together. I only wish daddy were here to watch with me. You are so lucky to have each other. I am so lucky to have you both. Love you, "fatso". 
Now, hurry up and grow some hair for all the clips & bows I have waiting. 

Your birthday, March 4th, 2009
Meeting your big bro for the 1st time

Aww Erynn, that melted my heart and brought tears to my eyes. She is so precious and I know she is so bittersweet - esp like you said, trying to enjoy the baby stages all over again, without P. I can only imagine the love he would (and does) have for her. I love her chubby cheeks. xoxo

It's Friday morning and I'm sitting here at my desk crying... it's way too early for this but I just couldn't imagine. Erynn. You amaze me. Hearing those words and all of the other emotions that go along with not having your husband there to help you... I just couldn't imagine.

Looks like everyone had shead a tear or two that day, from the looks of the picture! I imagine it was such an emotional time for all of you...

How lucky you are to have two beautiful children from the man of and in your dreams.

You are so strong. So strong.

Happy 6th months baby girl....

Six months already! She's so beautiful, crazy-cute and chubby, I love it!

I can't even begin to imagine being in your shoes... thank God for your wonderful, close, supportive family to help you get through. And what a blessing that if your sweet husband cannot be here with you, at least you have his two precious children. Bittersweet. You are an inspiration, and you remind me daily to appreciate each day, each moment.
