4 years ago today, I became the mom of a girl! It's different than being the mom of a boy. Victoria Lynn was born on December 19, 2007, at 2:25 p.m.
You see, Tori was a very photographed child before she was born. I started with a great doctor at the infertility center and had many sonograms there. Then at my regular OB, I was labeled ADVANCED MATERNAL AGE, which basically guarantees you a few more sonograms. Also, due to the fact that I have scoliosis and that the sonographer at my doctor's office was out when I needed the "measure the baby's neck" sonogram..... I received lot of appointments with the perinatologist. I actually had a 80% certainty from the perinatologist at 14 weeks that Tori was a girl. Not many people get that :)
Here is 6 weeks. Can you see her head and arm buds?
Here is 9 weeks. Amazing!!
Here is 28 weeks and she is being shy.... that's the last time that happened.
She was due 1/1/08, but I begged the doctor to induce me 2 weeks early. There were so many reasons. He finally agreed since I was ready and it took very little to kick me into full blown labor. This labor was so simple and about 6 hours from when I walked into the hospital, I was holding my beautiful daughter.
I am so blessed. She has brought so much joy to my life.
She is my princess and a gift from GOD!!
Here she is on her first birthday.
And then her second,
Last year for her third,
Can you see her sassy personality?
We had her birthday party a few weeks ago, it's hard to have a birthday this close to Christmas, so we celebrate a little early.
Happy Birthday Tori!! Mommy loves you more than the world.
