My Precious Baby Girl

28 years ago today...Our precious baby girl was born.We didn't know it was going to be Lindsey... we had no ultrasounds to tell us...I had a strong feeling Lindsey would be Lindsey... but all I prayed for was a healthy baby.Her proud Papa cut the cord after she was born. Symbolic.8 lbs., 11 ounces... my smallest baby!Big brother, Joshua, wasn't too sure what they were doing to his baby sister. See his hands? He was worried. "Oh, look Dear... we have a daughter! Lovely Little Lindsey..."I couldn't stop looking at her... holding her... kissing her... thanking God for her.Her proud Papa couldn't stop looking at her either.Big brother Gabe was excited... a nervous excited, I can tell by his smile. We were together, looking at our newest miracle... the Johnstons. Lindsey's big brothers were curious... but still keeping a little distance, a little unsure of this new little being...Gabe, in his intense curiosity, decided to see if she had any feet.
Lindsey Nicole... 28 years ago, today!
Now, 28 years later, my precious baby girl is carrying her first child... a son, Benjamin...Benjamin at 21 weeks...Benjamin at 22 weeks... on Valentine's DayLindsey has been practicing being a mom - of sorts - to Fluffy...Her helpful husband, Donnie, has been practicing being a Papa... and a chef... and a dishwasher... and an encourager... and, well, he's just so helpful! Maybe with a tad bit of prodding on his sweet pregnant wife's part....So here are Benjamin's proud parents to be, celebrating Valentine's... celebrating Benjamin... and today celebrating Lindsey's 28th birthday.

I love you, precious one!

Happy Birthday!
