11 Years Ago

I guess that I'm not very good at this "blogging" thing. I always have so much to say but when I sit down to "say" it.. well... Anywho...

With Elizabeth's birthday being tomorrow I have been thinking about where I was this time 11 years ago. I was pregnant. We had no proof from docs that she was a girl but my heart knew. We were so excited. My due date was Dec. 19th. We still hadn't gotten her room ready. I am at my best when I wait until the last minute or so I like to tell myself. I mean we still had five weeks left. My pregnancy was normal so we had no worries. I was just enjoying growing arms and legs! Kiven enjoyed it too. Every morning before he left for work he would kiss my belly and tell us that he loved us. A great daddy from the get go! He left for work that morning like he always did. I mean this day wasn't going to be any different than any other. We had a scheduled OB appointment that afternoon but that was it. We we also excited about our child birth class that night. My day was pretty uneventful. I got ready for our OB appointment and headed over. Kiven met me there. He never missed one, not one! All was good except my BP was way high. Dr. B was a little concerned so he had me lay on my left side for half an hour. My BP came down after I laid there for more than half an hour so he allowed us to leave. It was late so we decided to go and get a bite to eat before coming back over for our child birth class. Dinner was good and I felt fine. We just made it over to the hospital when Kiven got a call. I headed on in thinking that I need to go to the little momma's room.... and it happened.... Long story (already told in another post).. Kiven and I became parents to Elizabeth Loren-Bea Massey at 1:40AM on November 17, 1999. Our precious precious baby girl. She left in the arms of angels on November 26, 1999. She is forever loved and missed. Not a day goes by that we don't think of her. Glory be to God!

I am so grateful to God for allowing us the time that we had with our baby girl. She changed me for the better. I owe her my life! I wouldn't be who I am today if now for her. Can't wait to see you again!

To God be the glory!
