Happy 13th Birthday Nicole!



13 years and 39 weeks ago today, I was sick as a dog, throwing up for 36 of my 39 week pregnancy. 3 days before delivery, I was going through pitocin induced contractions for all those 3 days. 3 months after, I dealt with a colicky crying baby who wouldn't let anyone else hold her and whose tummy finally settled down after discovering "magic gold" Nutramagen. Four years later, I had a little toddler who was unable to fall asleep by herself and would cry to the point of throwing up. At 6:15 p.m. today, Nicole will be turning 13 years old. Was all of this worth it! ABSOLUTELY!

Nicole, I am so proud and honored to be your Mom. You have grown up into such a responsible, respectful and compassionate young lady. Your work ethic and intelligence amazes me and I cannot even imagine what plans God has for you in this lifetime. You are beautiful on the inside and out. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. You are my breath of life and seeing you grow everyday is such a blessing.

Happy 13th Birthday and First day of School! We Love You! Mom & Dad
