Simone's 3rd Birthday......Part 1

Since we are having her party on Sunday afternoon, we decided to buy just 4 cupcakes(1 for each of us) and let her pick what she wanted to eat for dinner:) So here are some pictures from that this evening. She had a blessed day and thank you all for the wonderful comments, emails and phone calls. We love you all!





























HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET SIMONE!!! We love you so much:)

Today.......3yrs ago!!!!!!!

Today, 3yrs ago I was in the hospital pregnant with Simone. Wow, I can't believe this time is passing by so fast and it makes me sad that its flying by. I went into the hospital on a Saturday night Jan. 14th(full moon) because my water broke at exactly 7:30pm. Things were good no major contractions. Doctor gave me something to help me sleep and around 10pm, Stephen and I got comfortable and watched a little tv before trying to go to bed. Not long after that, my contractions picked up BIG TIME. So to make a long story short. I labored hard from 12am to about 4 something. I dilated from a 3 to 7cm in 10 minutes(the most excruciating pain I had ever felt). And at the last minute, Simone decides to turn face up and was "trying" to come out chin first! She was already stubborn then, trying to do things her way:) So I ended up having to have a csection. Simone was delivered healthy and screaming at 7:53am Sunday morning(Jan. 15th). She has been an absolute blessing to us and we thank God for her everyday. I put together this montage of her 3yrs of life. I hope you enjoy it. It brought lots of tears to my eyes . HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET GIRL! I You!!!!!
