The Day My Life Forever Changed.

Eight years ago today, my life changed forever. I became a mother to a beautiful 7lb. 13.5 oz. baby girl that we named Madison (meaning good) Day Mast. I was in labor for 11 1/2 hours with her. You couldn't force her into this world, even then, she had to come when she was ready. She's that way even now. You can't rush her, she likes to take her time in everything she does. She had lots of black hair. Teeny tiny fingers and toes. I couldn't get over how tiny she seemed. This was all so new to me.  It was a great day. First hot day we actually had that year. I remember how excited I was to take her home and have her all to myself. I remember leaving the hospital trying to squeeze her car seat into the back of her fathers mustang. I remember it all like it was just yesterday. I remember introducing her to her brother and sister. And Miles being so excited to hold her. Also I learned a very valuable lesson early on...NEVER wake a sleeping baby just to see her....LET HER SLEEP! You WILL regret it! This was the best day of my life.

I tell her the story of the day she was born over and over. And she loves to hear it. She was my angel. She saved my life and I truly believe that. For reasons that she doesn't know right now but one day I will explain it to her. She changed how I would live the rest of my life. I was young. Madison was born about a month before my 19th birthday. It didn't matter how young I was, I was her mother. And I'm so proud to be her mother. She will forever and always be my angel, sent from God. I love her so much!
