Three

3 years ago today we met the eyes of a beautiful baby girl for the first time. I still remember how anxious we all were waiting for her to finally come. Gianna's due date came and went and so did my patience. I wanted to take in all of those last moments of being pregnant, feeling her move, but I was so ready to finally hold her, and she was most definitely worth the wait.
Her birth was such an amazing experience. Both Mateo and Gia were born at home (yes on purpose) with a midwife. It was beautiful having her at home surrounded by my husband and kids. It was like almost any other day at home, except we had a baby. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way.

Today our littlest blessing is turning three and it's somewhat hard for me to comprehend. Time is most definitely fleeting. She is a little daredevil and has always believed herself to be just as big as the other two. She makes us laugh with her fashion sense and her contagious laughter or smile. She is an amazing gift from God, and everyday I thank Him for sending her to us. I can't wait to see how she turns out and the road she takes. I know God has huge plans for her.

Happy Birthday Squeaker! Thank you for your kisses, your laughter, and the way you pull at our heart strings with those big brown eyes of yours! "You cannot go, we'll eat you up, we love you so!"
