Sweet Baby Maggie

ok, ok so its been an eternity since my little grandbaby girl was born. However, I did post something on her and when I went to look at the post, it was on Cassie blog. The stupidity!!! How did I do that? So... I'm starting over, even though she is over a month old now!!!

BABY MAGGIE!!!

I love, love, love you!!!

We were all waiting so patiently for you to come...you really made us crazy, waiting like that!!

The day finally arrived!!!

Let me just tell you how proud I was of your mother!!! There is nothing more incredible than watching someone else give birth!! I went through it 6 times myself and it still amazes me what a miracle it is.

Your mommy was so strong.

She listened to every word the nurses and doctor would tell her.

She asked a million questions. When it came to get you out, she was amazing. She didn't let pain or fear or anything get in her way. She just listened to the nurse and doctor and did exactly what they told her to do. She was incredible.

and your dad...

well let me just tell you, I was a little nervous about him!! but...he was amazing too!!! He was so helpful to Megan and he didn't faint or get nervous like we all thought he would!!! He just keep saying,"It all happened so fast!!!" and "WOW!" Such a cute daddy!!

So Maggie, I was able to stay with you and your mommy and daddy for a whole week. I got to hold you and burp you and sleep with you and change your diaper!!! I loved every minute of it!! It was a very special week to be included with your mommy and daddy for those first special days. There is a feeling in your home that is very real. Your parents love you so much and they are so committed to the Lord and to the gospel.

You are one lucky little girl to be in their home!!!

We all love you Maggie!!!

Grandpa and I get to tend you this Saturday while your mom and dad go out for daddy's birthday!!! Can't wait!!!

Our little (4o weeks), pregnant Megan,

she's is so beautiful and we can't wait

to see her sweet little girl,

anyday now Maggie!!!

She's got a baby inside

And holds her belly tight

All through the night

Just so she knows

She's sleeping so

Safely to keep

Her growing

And when she'll open her eyes

There'll be no surprise

That she'll grow to be

So beautifully

Just like her mother

That's carrying

Oh "Maggie"

Paige, Poses and Pics

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish I could freeze the picture

And save it from the tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers

Sleep in our eyes,

her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake, I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone

there's that old melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go

Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why I just don't know

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home

in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Slipping through my fingers all the time.

-ABBA

I feel this way about all my children...

Where does the time go...?
