Holy Cow--- it's Abby's Birthday!!!!

Let it be noted that 7 years ago today I was in the hospital, with lots and lots of drugs in my system, but my entire body was numb... not a feeling I like so much. Doctors and nurses poked and prodded for hours, while I ate ice chips and had others telling me how strong my contractions were. Was I feeling them? Nope, because at that point I fell in love with the anesthesiologist (who earns his pay as far as I'm concerned) and it was a good thing he did his job right because after an easy labor, 30 minutes of official pushing...
my 9lb. 4oz. baby cow, I mean GIRL was born!!!
(you wouldn't know it now by how petite she is!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY JANE!!!!
I love this little girl more than I ever thought possible!
She is by far my more challenging child, but honestly in just the last few days (that's sad to admit), we have had a break through and I'm finally learning how to deal with and learn from this beautiful little girl of mine! Abby is in many ways my opposite, but I now know that's because she was brought to me to teach me and to help me grow as her mother. I am so grateful to have been given that title and that I have my sweet Abby in my family!

Abby is, not only...
SMART
BEAUTIFUL
LOVING
WITTY
TENDER
THOUGHTFUL
KIND
SINCERE
FUNNY
...but
SHE'S MINE!

I LOVE YOU ABBERS!!!!

P.S. Check out the treats she brought to class today:
