I'm Not Gonna Cry, I'm Not Gonna Cry!!


So tomorrow at 1:26 my baby girl will be 7!!! What!! REALLY 7, not possible!!!! It seems like last week I was at the doctors office with my mom for a check up only to be told, "Well Mrs. Harden you are having a baby today" can we say I LOST it!! Not only was I going to have my baby today (so not the plan), my husband was in Wilsonville working and I could not get him to answer the phone!!!
Needless to say that was one of the happiest days of my life!! She has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives not to mention a little drama too...lol
Everyone tells you time flies when you have little ones, and they are not kidding, I'm just trying to cherish every moment, good or bad, with my babies (yes in my eyes they are still babies). Braigen is already telling us that she is "in love" with this little cutie at school, and I'm just not ready to hear that kind of talk from my baby girl, but ready or not she is getting bigger, even though I do think that 7 is a little young to be "in love", but they start so young these days. And in case you are wondering, yes I am one of those moms who says she Will be 25 before her first date...haha People ask me all the time, more when she was little though, "If you had it to do all over again would you have had her when you were so young yourself? and the answer is Yes, Yes and Yes!! I mean at first it was difficult but I think being a younger mom has it's advantages too!!

Braigen you are so very dear to me and I couldn't imagine life without you!! Everyday you remind me of me when I was little, which makes me smile, but at times scares me too, I just hope you make smarter chocies than I did!! And one of the smartest ones was having you!! I love you Braigee Boo, you are truly my sunshine!!
