10 Weeks and Counting~

~Chelsea Danielle~

5lbs 3oz

I counted the weeks, days and minutes until the moment she came into the world and she took her first breath......

Counting the seconds until she was placed in my arms.....

My miracle baby.....

The numerous times I almost lost her.....

The many days on bed rest.....

Thousands of doctor appointments....

And too many to count times,rushing to the hospital in pre-labor.

Born early and despite all odds during my pregnancy, this beautiful creation ,God's beauty and grace, changed my world.

Tiny she was.....

But a fighter in her own right she became.

Full of love, her sweet nature captured the hearts of many.......

A quite tenderness that poured into souls just by looking in her eyes.

A laughter that could echo for miles.....

And a smile that brought unspeakable happiness.

Where has the time gone???

10 weeks and counting.....

She will walk that stage and step into a new season of life.....

You would think it would be easy for me since this is my second go around......

Not so much!!!!

When I look at her I still see the baby I was once told may not make it.....

I see the tiny little girl sleeping in my arms.....

I hear her child like laughter echoing in my ears....

I hear her first words and her first cries......

I see her excitement on Christmas morning......

I can still hear her singing me the "Barney" song.

( I love her smile)

And most of all I can still hear the words of my daddy God telling me, this child of mine, the one He blessed me so richly with, would live as HE has a plan for her life!!!

A plan to bring glory to His kingdom!!!

From all the Godly seeds that have been planted in her life, a harvest will be reaped.

The enemy tried so hard to take this child.

Physically from the moment of conception.....

Emotionally from many trials of pain.....

Spiritually from times of brokenness......

( I don't think the enemy counted on her strong fighting spirit God blessed her with nor this praying momma)

1 John 4:4

⁴ You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Regardless of my "mom" emotions.....

You know the ones that do not want to let go of her....

Through my tears of happiness.....

My smiles of joy....

And the proud moment of when she steps into her new season in life......

I know that she will be victorious in all that God has planned for her.

She may still be my baby......

But she is HIS child!!!!

She is God's Beauty and Grace~

From roots to wings......

She is preparing to fly.....

10 weeks and counting!!

Proverbs 22:6

⁶ Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
