Addie turns 4

Our sweet baby girl is 4 and I can't believe it. It seems like it was yesterday when we were rushing into the operating room for an emergency c-section. My water had broke at about 2 in the morning. Mike and I rushed to the hospital and got checked in, everything was going fine. I was progressing right along until I started to push, Addie started going into distress, she was coming out face first instead of back of head first and her foot was wrapped around the cord. So everytime I would push her heartrate would drop. Needless to say it scared us and the doctor as well, so I was rushed into a c-section immediately. I had never been so scared and worried, Mike held it together in front of me at least. Once in the operating room Addie's heart rate returned to normal and they proceeded with the surgery. Mike meanwhile had to wait outside the operating room and needless to say was in panic. I can only imagine the things running through his mind as he waited outside for about twenty minutes which probably felt like an eternity. When they were all ready to deliver Addie, Mike was able to come in a witness his baby girl being born. I will never forget hearing that first cry. I was completely overjoyed. The next few days in the hospital like true first time parents we didn't let Addie leave our sight. We had her in the room the entire time and when she had to go to the nursery for shots I even followed just to make sure everything went smoothly. Looking back I should have rested when I could at the hospital, but I just couldn't stop staring at our girl. I was absolutely exhausted and excited when I came home from the hospital. Mike nearly had to tie me to the bed to get sleep. From then Addie has grown into a sweet, lovable, a bit emotional at times (Just like her mommy) 4 year old. We are so proud of her and couldn't love her more. She is very aware of this since we kiss on her all the time. She is all girl. If you ask her she will say she loves, pink, rainbows, butterflies and wants a pony. She figure he can just live in our back yard.
