6 days after tying the knot,
we found out you were going to enter our lives.
A new bundle of joy, excited and prepared,
we couldn’t help but to be scared.

The day we found out, 4wks 5days |
A few months later, on February 17th,
we said our “see you laters” to daddy, as he headed off for the Air Force.
You were still growing, 18 weeks to be exact,
about the length of a bell pepper, weighing 7 ounces as a matter of fact.

On week 22, I found out your gender,
we were both elated about the pink splendor!
Your name already picked out, we knew deep within,
and there was no better name than Gracie Lynn.
22wks |
The months drug by,
and the days got hotter,
but alas the time was here,
for your arrival.

My trip down to TX before she was born, around 36wks |
Daddy sporting the belly cast we made |
I picked up daddy from the airport,
little sleep we got before the alarm started ringing.
Up and at em’ at 4:45am,
the ride to the hospital felt like the longest drive ever!

Hooked up to the Pitocin,
Bag of water broke,
the contractions kept coming,
and they were no joke!

Wanting to feel comfortable,
I requested the epidural,
little did I know,
I was soon unstable.

Numbed from head to toe,
Blood pressure getting way low,
after two shots, a breathing mask, and my epidural being shut off,
I was on my way to feeling a little bit better.

A few hours passed,
the nurses came in,
they said “get ready to push,
you’re already at 10!”

Pushing and pushing,
we knew you were near,
and at 1:56pm,
Daddy shouted, “She’s here, she’s here!”

6 pounds 13 ½ ounces, 20 inches long,
we were overjoyed as tears streamed down our face.
The doctors and nurses stood clear,
to give us our space.

Family and friends
Came and went;
Flashes filled the room,
to capture the blessed event.

2 days later,
we brought you home;
it was a bittersweet moment,
because daddy couldn’t stay long.

We left the hospital and went straight to get our pictures taken |
Off to the airport,
that very same day,
we once again said our “see you laters”,
Except this time the pain was greater.

Daddy whispered, “I’ll see you soon,
don’t forget daddy loves you!”
Your arm stretched high not wanting him to go,
But 3 months later we welcomed him back home!

Our trip down for daddys Tech School Graduation, daddy put her in the cock pit of a jet; 1 month old |
After he finally came home for good! |
You fill our lives with nothing but laughter;
it’s your brother’s smile that you take after.
As the years go by, just remember this,
we love you so much, our little rainbow bliss!
