Birthday Girl!

It is exciting and sad at the same time watching your children grow, especially when it is your last. It is hard to believe how quickly time passes. That is why it is to crucial to make the most of every minute of every day.

All of our children have been infertility babies with the exception of our first and last. Who knew that turning 40 would be the key to my fertility? It was an interesting pregnancy. I didn't quite fit in with the younger mother's to be and most of the women my age had raised their children. I was the "Mother of the Bride" at seven months pregnant for my daughter Brianna's wedding. I had gestational diabetes and so I was monitored very carefully. The doctor induced Brigitta two weeks early because of complications. After 16 hours of labor she was delivered cesarean because she did a somersault right into breech position. No matter how difficult the pregnancy was, the outcome was well worth it.

We are so blessed to have Brigitta in our lives.

She is the sunshine that brightens our days.

































Happy Birthday Brigitta


We LOVE You!

  1. Happy Birthday little sis!!! I love you so much. *hugs* The pictures were so cute and precious...it was like a little walk down memory lane. And I love the look on Shantell's face as she got to help hold Brigitta on the Carosel. You could tell she loved her little sister as well.

    We'll come see you for your bday today! :)
