Six years ago today I almost died.
So did my youngest daughter. After a complicated delivery, I watched her struggle to breathe and shake from a crashing blood sugar.
Today she never slows down, and the only time she can't breathe is when she's laughing so hard she's making the rest of us gasp for air.
There’s another prevalent memory from six years ago…as the people prepping me for surgery administered too much anesthesia and I watched my heart rate slow to almost nothing, I whispered a desperate prayer to just see my baby.
I now see her every day, and I'll never tire of it.
Because looking in her eyes is a very physical evidence of grace. I almost lost her before I held her. But today we baked her first cake and played princess games.
This is a far better way to spend an October day!
But now I have to go... a little princess still wants to snuggle and play dress up. And eat cake! ;-)

Amy, I'm so glad God came through for you and your baby. He came through for me and my youngest, too, under different circumstances. We've seen another eighteen years together since that scary day, and my baby boy is six-two and perfectly healthy. God is good!
I'm so happy you made it to today!
Happy belated birthday to your baby girl. :-)
