...Which was to become the greatest blessing of my lifetime.
Fourteen years ago, today, I went to the doctor thinking I had Mono; only to find out I was:
- in fact expecting
- that I was about to start my second trimester
- and that my whole world was going to change quicker than I could have imagined.
Hind sight = its all been for the best.
I am a better person than I would've remained, had I not had to suddenly focus on someone else's life other than my own.
Now, standing at a point where the likelihood of another child entering our life seems completely impossible, I am so grateful for the Lord's timing which I didn't understand when it was all happening.
"...Children are an heritage to the Lord..." (Psalm 127:3)
She's a good girl...the best girl...the greatest gift I could ever hope for: a beautifully smart daughter (who knows she's not only mine but a strong daughter of God) and the gift of being a mother.
This I cherish, as many wonderful women do not know this joy, and may not ever. (I wish they could know. I wish I could again.)
So, December's kind of a special month for us. It's OUR month.
- December 3rd- the day I first learned about her
- December 6th- the first time I saw her
Fourteen years later and for forever, Mini-Me will always be my favorite Christmas present! (5 years later, Mr LKP was my favorite Thanksgiving present!)

That would be quite the [exciting] shock!
Enjoy your special month!
Maw! How special. I can't wait to experience that!
So--December 3rd is our girls' day, huh? And not until fourteen weeks? You were past all the yucky.
Great post.
Quite a bit of mental difference between the mono and pregnant thing I would think!
She IS absolutely beautiful and I love this post!
What a lucky girl to have such an awesome mom! Happy Birthday to your Mini-Me!!
Dec. 3rd is a great day of the year.
That is so funny. When I found out that I was pregnant with my 14 year old I thought I would be rushed to the operating room because of some strange sickness. :) Happy birthday to your cute girl!
The girls are dancing around to the song... a baby does change EVERYTHING! What a beautiful song.
You were lucky to make it to the second trimester, with no morning sickness... I had morning sickness from the day I fell pregnant. I ate so many gingernut cookies trying to stop the sick feeling... I haven't bought gingernut cookies for over 6 years :) Can't even look at them!
Enjoy your special time....you're a great mum!
What a great surprise! Who wants mono anyway?
Isn't it wonderful what a baby can do to a family. Even 14 years later, she's doing wonderful things!
I love this post!!
Just wish I could get an equal shock! :)
I think that Miss Daisy is darling and truly a blessing to you and Seth!
You are such a great mom!
Love yer guts!
Beautiful post! I can feel the love you have for her! I am so grateful I have met you! You have inspired me to focus on my little girl and not that I don't have a second child yet. It will happen if it is meant to be. Happy Birthday Little Miss Daisy!
What a lovely post. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
She looks just like you and is a beautiful young lady. Hindsight can be a wonderful thing.
Happy tears :) Love you ♥
Love the Faith Hill song.
And if only Sissy's mom could be the kind of Momma you are! Really! Your baby is a lucky girl to have a mom who loves her so much and chose to focus on her rather than yourself.
Love you!
