One Beautiful Year with Mykayela
I can't believe it has been a complete year since my beautiful baby girl, Mykayela, was born. She was a miracle 16 years in the making...18 years in the waiting. This girl, this miracle of life, she has given me so much joy. I'm so grateful, so utterly thankful to know her.
It all started so suddenly...so unexpectedly.
Carrying her was so easy, so natural, so lovely and wonderful...so BEAUTIFUL. Her daddy and I awaited her with incredible love and longing.
The night she was born was more wonderous, intimate, powerful, enjoyable, sublime...more amazing than anything I could ever come close to conveying to anyone. This language I've been given and learned is left wanting, severly lacking in any strength or measure to relay the significant splendor of that night, our birth. I long to relive, to once again feel those moments.
Every day since, every night, every single moment has been bliss. OK, there have been a few crying scenes where it was one step below "Bliss", but I would never trade any of it.
Our little gift from God had her first birthday Tuesday, June 26th. We celebrated on Saturday the 23rd at the park. We had sandwiches, birthday cake, ice cream, punch, bottled water, chips, and fruit. After eating we put the many water balloons and water guns I purchased to good use.
Mykayela was so funny...cute...sweet. She didn't really want much to do with her birthday cake. She poked at it, tasted the frosting, talked a lot, but she didn't want to eat the cake--she shared it with me though by lifting it up and leaning it into my face.
I can't believe the tiny, wet, amazing newborn I held in my arms has blossomed into the fun, squirmy, crawling little baby with pig tails and teeth.
I have been so blessed!
I have pictures to post of her birthday.
Oh how time marches on but the heart holds fast.
Happy Birthday Sweet Mykayela!! I LOVE YOU!!!
