Three years ago today my sweet Emma Grace was born.

In case you are new to A Mom’s Life.. Emma is my cousin’s little girl that I am a Godparent too.. Well maybe more than that.. I dont know how to describe it. She is my little person. I felt our connection before she was even born. I took care of her mom when she was pregnant and then was the labor coach when she was born. I cut the umbilical cord and held her in those first precious moments when she was brand new.  I loved her from the start and knew we’d be friends….

This is her and I the day she came home from the hospital. She was such a tiny little toot. I was deep in a depression over our infertility and youd think a new baby around would have deepened it.. but it didnt.  She wasnt mine.. and I was still not pregnant. (and still am not)  BUT Holding that tiny little gift was like a salve on the wound. I cant even explain why. She still is.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl.
