Isabella came into this world seven weeks early. She was ready to make an entrance and give me and Josh the surprise of our lifetime. We figured that you just REALLY wanted to meet us so we feel blessed! I remember when the nurse came in and told me that I was going into labor. I was so scared and confused but, I knew that God had already planned this for us. Your daddy was amazing, he helped me in the days following as I got injected with all sorts of medicine to help you stay inside and grow your lungs:) While we were waiting for you, all sorts of amazing friends and Nanny's and Poppa's came to help out… Then, it was time…
You are two years old today and I want you to know how much me and daddy love you. You complete "us". You are cherished more than you will ever know. I remember the day I saw your face for the first time two years ago, I knew my life would never be the same. You give me joy, hope, and a heart full of love for you. You teach me humility and grace. Your daddy loves you more than any daddy has ever loved their daughter. I wish you could see the way he sheds tears every time you fall asleep on his chest. That is true love my dear. I wish for you that he was here to tell you of his love for you….but he shows you every day by living out the life of a godly man. Serving his country and the Lord. Serving you. You are prayed for daily … we pray that God would mold you into the woman of God you will be. Thank you for all of the hugs and kisses. Thank you for the smiles and laughs that melt my soul. Save up some of that sweet love for daddy…. he will need it when he gets back!
