Becoming the Mom of a GIRL!!!

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.
