Birthday Girl
Yesterday I got up to get ready for work and I realized that your Mommy is already out of bed. She was having irregular contractions and they were so strong she couldn't talk through them. I went to work like regular but about 5:30PM, I got a text that I needed to come home. When I got there she was having regular contractions 5 minutes apart. We waited an hour and then we headed to the hospital.
I saw your Mom go through the worst pain of her entire life and sitting there with her I felt completely helpless. When it came time to push your little heartbeat slowed down and the doctor had to tell one of the nurses to prep for a C-section. Between pushes the nurses would rub your Mommy's belly to try and pick up your heartbeat. When it was up to regular they told Mommy to push. If your Mom hadn't pushed with such resolve then you would have been born in the operating room. Instead you were born with a big push at 4:41 AM today October 8th. I saw you enter this world and heard you cry for the first time, it was the most beautiful moment of my life.
We are sitting here at the hospital in post delivery suite. You are laying in the clear basket on the cart in front of me and your Mommy is to my left getting some well deserved rest. You were born with a full head of dark brown hair, my color eyes, your Mommy's nose, and according to your Mimi, my ears.
It seems only a short time ago you were this little apple seed and now you are the most beautiful perfect baby. I am so incredibly blessed and I hope that I will be the father that you deserve. You are squirming around quite a bit so first things first, I need to check your diaper.
I want you to know that I love you more than anything. Happy birthday, Alice.
