To my Birdie on her Birthday
July 7, 2009 | Category: I'm a celebrator, I'm a Momma
Even though your day has come to a close, I must pay tribute to you. As you are fast asleep in your crib, I think of you.
My dear Birdie, today you turned 2 years old.
I remember your birth like it was yesterday. Folks were placing bets on whether or not you were going to be a lucky 7-7-07 child. I had my doubts.
We didn’t even know if you were a “he” or a “she”, although Daddy had a sneaky pink suspicion.
You were a week overdue, it was 90 degrees out, and I was calling for your eviction. When the time came for your arrival, you waited for nobody – not even a nurse or a doctor was present.
We call you Birdie for two reasons. When you started to laugh, you sreeched like a baby bird. It was the funniest and most sweetest sound you could make.
Now the baby laugh is mostly gone but your nickname still remains. Since you’re such a tiny little lady, – Birdie still just seems to fit you. Small, delicate, and dainty.
Our little Bird.
I am so in love with you – to this I cannot lie.
While I type this little letter, my belly is growing with your sibling. Can I apologize now for making you a middle child?
Sometimes between you and your sister, my heart burst and I wonder if I’ll have enough love to go around.
But I know there will be.
~Mom

Oh sweetness. My kids are 19 months apart and I know it's hard feeling like you have two babies at the same time. She looks like a little dollface and i hope she had a lovely day!

That is so sweet.
Happy Birthday Birdie!
I felt that way pregnant with my third. I cried a few times sitting with my son (the middle child), cause I felt so bad about him not being the baby anymore. You'll get over it, don't worry. And you're right, there is plenty of love to go around, more than enough.

seriously.
so tiny.
and twitter decided that your surprise is twins and that you're lame enough to hint at them in a DM at bedtime on Wednesday.
I have much higher hopes for you.
