happy birthday

miss halle bell

two years ago today i held you in my arms, not my belly, for the first time.

i had no idea the next two years would be filled with

so much exhaustion

so much frustration

so much finding nemo

so many mini m&m's

so many "mommy, mommy, mommy's"

so much poo in the tub.

and so much love.

but you should know

you are my dream come true.

when i was a little girl and my parents would ask me what i wanted to be when i grew up, i would always say,

"a driving mom"

it was always my wish and deepest desire to be a mom

i can honestly say i have never wanted be anything else

besides that time in the 90's when i wished i could be gwen stefani with platinum blonde hair and front a band of boys.

so when you were born i felt complete and whole

my dream was realized

my wish fulfilled

and turns out you are the most beautiful, sweet, and amazing baby a girl could ask for

we sure love you!

happy birthday kikster!
