Thalia turned ONE a few days ago and I’ve been trying to process how it just flew by so quickly. She made me think about how she came to being our rainbow baby and filled our hearts with so much love. It’s not often I think about the miscarriage I had before we had her, but the last few days I’ve been thinking of how bringing a life into this world is an absolute miracle from God. Now I can’t imagine my life without Thalia and it just shows that God is the author of our stories.
Here’s a sweet letter to my babygirl:
Thalia Abilene, you are now ONE and I already can see so much about your personality. Your smile is contagious and so pure of joy. In many ways you have been there for me baby girl. There’s been times when it’s just been me and you and I’ve been going through my own hiccups and feeling down but your snuggles have made me feel instant joy. I didn’t think I’d still be nursing you but I’m not even trying to let it go just yet because you are my last baby and those moments are something that I treasure so much. The look you give me as you are sipping away is so heartwarming that I can feel the love you have for me, your mama. It’s been so sweet to see the way you already stand up to both your big brothers when they are annoying you. I mean, how are you already in charge missy! One of my favorite phrases Judah asked when you were a baby was “are we famous or something?” I said, “no! Why?” Well you are always being admired by so many people when we’ve been out about how beautiful you are. Something about you that has brought so many people to acknowledge your presence. I truly feel this is just the beginning for you…I know God will use you one day to bring those who need Him through you. Your sweet spirit will draw those who are lost through your life and ministry. My prayer is that you grow up to serve Him and that you are become a world changer while standing up for yourself as a women and finding your own voice. Can we talk about your first word for a hot minute? You said “dada” and you’ve continued to keep Adam wrapped around his finger. Your excitement when you see him come home is so precious to see. We love you so much and you have completed our family. Happy birthday, love Mama.
