This day, exactly four years ago, I was busy getting myself all prettied up. I had butterflies in my stomach, and let me tell you, it was a pretty BIG stomach! I had one hour left in our little blue house in Ten Sleep. ONE HOUR until "go time", one hour left to get everything that I needed in order, one hour left of having only two kids. Yah, that was the big issue. One hour left of having a hand for each kid.....my world was aobut to change.
As we loaded up the big white suburban to head for Worland, we had an empty car seat. One that was just going along for the 25 minute ride. A car seat waiting for the new baby...would it be a boy or girl? We had no idea.... This was the ONLY baby that came as a surprise! With all of the excitement, we left a bit early. Which only meant that we arrived in Worland early. As we drove around waiting for check in time, we had only one more thing to worry about. What were we going to name this child? Oh, we had girls names picked out, but did we agree? Not exactly. I finally gave in to Grady's desire, but not very willingly.
After the surgery was all over, and it wasn't the easiest one, we were blessed with one beautiful baby girl! I am so happy that Grady got his way with the name, I could not have picked a better one to fit her.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIONA BELLE. I LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE WITH EACH PASSING DAY!
