Five years ago tonight I was in the hospital laboring with my first baby. She was born at 4:00pm on February 10, 2005. I was SHOCKED that she was a girl and I was SHOCKED that she wasn't 22 pounds. I just knew I was carrying this enormous baby boy. When she was born a she and at a tiny 7 pounds, 12 ounces I was stunned. STUNNED. Since that day she has stunned me a hundred times at least with things she knows and the things she has said. Nothing, NOTHING stuns me more, however, than the fact that my baby girl is now five years old.
