Precious Baby Bridget



~A look back to over three years ago~

Look at this little pumpkin! We'd been home from the hospital for just a few weeks when I snapped this photo. Bridget was five pounds when she was born, but was already starting to put on some weight. When I see this picture, I realize that I am falling in love all over again. I also realize what my youngest daughter has been trying to tell me all along: "Mom, I am going to be okay!" Today, when Bridget coughs or trips, she shouts, "OH KAY!" She's started to anticipate me asking, "Are you okay?" (which I do every. single. time. she coughs, trips, clears her throat, etc.). When she was tiny, I worried about her health, how much she was eating, what she was hearing, seeing, learning. At every turn, she reassured me. I just needed to listen a little more closely...
