"If They Could Just Stay Little Til Their Carters Wear Out"- A Carter's clothing tag


Hard to believe a year ago today I was feeling exposed under a hospital gown with my enormous belly starting to give me fits and beginning the 'hook up' to beeping machines. I felt good. Contractions weren't that bad yet, I did not even know I was having them. Two weeks of the same feelings makes you immune.

The nurse was funny, keeping things light. Mick and I were having an "all day date" and we were excited for the birth of our 3rd baby girl. Just to hold her, kiss her and know her. We couldn't wait! When she arrived it was a beautiful moment. One look at her and we knew she was our Abbie. She was precious. A little gooey- but precious!


Now look at her!
This is not fair. Why do our first children grow so slowly and our last grow so fast? I told Mick some time ago, that this might be the first birthday party that makes me cry. Is it rude to not want to sing Happy Birthday?

I don't want her to be one, I don't want her to be one, I don't want her to be one....( I say while stomping my foot)

If she could just stay little til her Carters wear out.

Happy Birthday Abbie girl.
I love you little momma.

  1. Of course it's been a year...I was at the Super Saturday last year anxiously awaiting the call, and Super Saturday is again tomorrow. Hard to believe it. I hate that they grow so fast. But nobody listens to me when I tell them to stop growing! Happy Birthday Beautiful Girl!!! We are so glad that you are a part of our family!
