With Nevaeh turning 2 this week, it opened up the memory banks to right after she was born. How tiny & fragile she was. It wasn't fair. The prospect of what she would have to go through to correct this 'problem' we now faced. Having a medical background wasn't a comforting thing in the beginning. But as we proceeded through the journey, it became an asset.
Looking back at how angry I was in the beginning, I now see that it was an answer to prayer. Albeit, not the answer that I wanted, but an answer non the less. I had prayed so many times to be a 'stay at home mommy' and now I was. I just never imagined that this was the road that I would take to get there.
I am so thankful for both of my girls & every moment that we have with them. Each breath they take is a blessing & a gift from the almighty creator Himself! Thank you all for sharing in this journey with us!

Growing into such a beautiful girl!! Happy 2nd birthday Nevaeh!!
Look at the cute little peanut! It's so amazing to me how these little creatures can change so quickly. So much is going on in those tiny little bodies at such a fast pace. Vaeh has come a long long way in the two years she has been with you. So much to look back and be thankful for! YAY for that, and also for answered prayers. xoxox

Happy Birthday Miss Vaeh!! Sorry that I am behind in posting a comment. You are such a cutie and I hope that you had a terrific birthday.

Crazy the amount of feelings we go through isn't it? Not exactly how we expected it to be, yet we are so blessed!
Our children are such blessings and we learn so much from them.
Happy belated Birthday Vaeh!
