To the sweetest little girl

Dear Sydney Bear
I am sitting here on April 9th 2013. I cannot help, but to think of this night 3 years ago. I was working at Olive Garden doing take out. My induction had been set for the coming Wednesday. I was bummed you had not graced us with your presence. Being 3 days overdue, I was pretty sure I would be induced. I was determined to not slow down in hopes of making time go by quickly. We had a mandatory work meeting Saturday morning, and jokingly I told my boss I would not be coming because I would be havin a baby. Well around 6 oclock right in the midst of the Friday night rush the computers started acting funny. By 7 they were totally down. We were unable to process any credit cards, and our company computer help was unable to get it back up. They asked to have us wait until 8 and if the computers were still down to close the restaurant. 8 came around, and we had all the guests leave. Jeff and I were excited to be able to have some night available. We sat down with our friends at work and had dinner. It was a really fun time. We almost ended up in the hospital during dinner due to one of your dads choking spells! After dinner your dad and I went home. I decided I just wanted to take a bath, and relax. I was so relaxed, and I felt great. I got out of the tub, and went downstairs to watch TV on the couch. Your dad was up in bed, but I still needed a minute to unwind. Not to long after I sat down did I hear a POP! It sounded as if my elbow or finger had popped, but I was sitting still. I waited, and than I felt a little rush of water. I hurried to the bathroom, and the water continued to trickle out. My idea of when your water breaks was a huge gush of water. So this was a tad strange. I called to your dad, and RAN down stairs. He asked if I was peeing, due to the sound. I said no, and from there we decided we should head to the hospital. I glanced at the clock it was just about 11:45. I was so thankful the computers at work had crashed, or else I would have still been at work!! We called your aunt Jenny, and grandma. We checked into the hospital, and I was admitted. Your dad, and I could not believe how fast this was happening. I was so excited to kiss your sweet face, I could not wait. Unfortunately wait is just what I did. After 5 hrs of pushing, and having to re position you, you came!!! We were so concerned, you did not cry, and you were black. Your eyes were bulging out, do to the fact of waiting so long in my birth canal. The room, was quiet. I was blessed with a calm, and soon I heard my baby cry. The sweetest sound I had yet to hear. You were as sweet as could be. You were worth all the effort, and wait. Your dad loved you right away. You have ceased to be the highlight of our life’s. You are continually growing into such an amazing little girl. It blows my mind to think my little Sydney is going to be 3 yrs old!! You have changed me for the better, and have helped me to grow. You are so full of love, and the light of Christ. You are one of the most amazing people I have yet to meet. I am so lucky to be able to call you my daughter. I hope to be able to be the best mom to you. Theses 3 years have been the best time of my life. You will always be my little girl.
I’ll like you forever
I’ll love you for always
As long as I am living my baby you will be
I love you so much sweet bear bear!!
