I have to say that I am VERY disappointed my diary did not get moved to Moms Today yet.:o( I have my fingers crossed that the move will happen VERY soon and this was a overlook as I have been requesting a new diary for over 5 months now! *sigh*
I don’t know what I was thinking last week when I said I was going to write Autumn birth story… I already did… mommy brain, sorry. Anyway, I am writing for Autumn this week and next week I PROMISE to write Alecs Birth Story! :O)

When I found out that my second child was going to be a girl I was very excited and scared at the same time. I was excited that I was going to have a little girl to dress up and do her hair. I was excited that we would eventually go shopping together and share girl talks. I was scared, because I wanted the perfect mother-daughter relationship and didn’t have any idea how to do that. I wanted nothing but the best for her even though she was still growing inside of me. I wanted nothing less then the best for my sweet baby girl. When I was growing up I had a good relationship with my mother until I hit the teenage years. Then something went wrong and I pulled away from her. After I moved out and got married our relationship improved drastically. I promised my unborn little girl that I would do whatever it took to keep our relationship in tack and close. I was never going to let her stray from me. EVER…..
When Autumn was born and she was handed to me the tears just flowed from Joe and I . We had a baby girl! She was absolutely one of the most beautiful things I have ever laid my eyes on. She had black hair and the most beautiful clear, olive complexion. She looked just like her daddy. We could not stop looking at her and both promised she would forever be our princess. Autumn was a great baby and unfortunately, her baby days flew by and all we have left are the pictures. Autumn would smile and giggle at anyone who looked her way. She refused to crawl until she was 11 months old and was always doing the army scoot across the floor. Autumn was pretty much a momma’s girl for her first year. However, on Valentines Day a couple days before her 1st birthday Autumn took her first steps to Daddy and has been a Daddies girl ever since.
When Autumn was two she got very very ill on her birthday and there was a time when I thought I was going to loose her. I remember being in the Helicopter while she was being transferred to another hospital. All I had going through my mind was “ Dear Lord please take me instead of my baby, Please.” I have NEVER in my life been so scared. I remember sitting in PICU rocking her and telling her to fight and get well. The lord heard my prayers and my little girl made it through.
Autumn is such a sweet beautiful girl. She loves animals and wants nothing but happiness to surround her. I know that Autumn will be anything she wants to be when she is older. Well I have to stop writing as the tears are flowing to hard now. I need to go hug my little girl.
How do I love you?
(P. K. Hallinan)
How do I love you?
Let me count the ways.
I love you on your very best
and very worst of days.
I love to see you laughing and dancing in the rain;
And even when you lose your shoes, I love you just the same.
I love to hear you singing.
I love to see you smile.
I love the way you take each day in your own unhurried style.
I'm happy when you're happy,
and I'm sorry when you're sad.
And even though it may not show, I love you when you're bad.
How do I love you? Well, now let me see...
I love the way you act so brave when you fall and hurt your knee.
I love to watch you sleeping, tucked away in dreams,
I love to hear you whisper all your giant plans and schemes.
I love the way you wear your pants with the front part in the back.
And the way you walk around sometimes with your head inside a sack.
I love to see you deep in thought.
I love to watch you play.
And though I'm sure you'll never know it, I love you more each day.
How do I love you? It's impossible to say.
For if I had a million days and time enough for all the praise,
I couldn't tell you all the ways...I LOVE YOU!
Why God Made Little Girls
God made the world with its towering trees, majestic mountains and restless seas.
Then stopped and said, "It needs one more thing. Someone to laugh and dance and sing.
To walk in the woods and gather flowers,
to commune with nature in quiet hours."
So God created little girls.
With laughing eyes and bouncing curls.
With joyful hearts and infectious smiles, enchanting ways and feminine wiles.
And when He'd completed the task He'd begun, He was pleased and proud of the job He'd done.
For the world when seen through a little girl's eyes, greatly resembles paradise.
God Bless
