I came across these pictures today and wanted to share them. It's a look back almost 14 years ago at the beginning of life with my angel, Bethany. I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant with her, 18 when I brought her into the world. I was clueless about being a mother and scared to death. But I knew I had been given a very special gift from God (still know that). I've made a lot of mistakes along the way, but one thing's for sure: I love that little girl with all of my being!
Seeing her heart beat for the first time:
(Can you make out the little peanut?)
Making a stop at Aunt Kay's in Montevallo to make sure we're in real labor. WE ARE! It's off to Brookwood:
(Nevermind the bangs, look at those cheeks! I gained 50 lbs! WHOA!)
Meeting for the first time:
(One of the best moments of my life!)
Our first day home: 
(Isn't she beautiful!)
First Easter:
(Makes me miss 322 Wright Dr. - you agree, Martha?)
Sweet baby girl:
(She was such a sweet baby!)
Snoozing with Granddaddy! :)
(I love this one!)
Whatever has me laughing obviously didn't strike her as funny!
Now that's the smile I know!
I LOVE YOU, UMBY!
Stay tuned. This is just Part 1.
