7:49 pm

November 13, 2009: My life changed forever. At 7:49 pm, after being at the hospital for 9 hours, I finally gave birth to my beautiful daughter, Makayla Sophia. She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz, and was 20 inches long. She had a full head of black hair, that has since faded to a brown color. Alot has gone on in my life since she was born...I haven't had to deal with the long nights of trying to clam down a crying baby, my issues have had nothing to do with Makayla at all. She is such a miracle baby (as all babies are, but still...). Unless she is hungry, she does not cry. Period. The only time she has cried and not been hungry, was after she got her shots, and she randomly cried for like a half hour. No matter what is going on in my life, I can just hold her and pretend like nothing is wrong, and it really helps make things better. She is smiling all the time now, and making the cutest noises. When she wakes up in the morning, and is fussing, (because she likes her bottles right away...she is spoiled, and it's not my fault!) she will stop fussing when she sees me, and just give me the biggest smile. And that just makes everything worth it.

Quote for the day: Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the people who treat you right, forget the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
