Where does the time go......?

I can't believe that my little Becca is going to be 4 next week! I am feeling a little sad about it:(. She is such a bright, beautiful girl. Just full of life, energy, and love. She is always so quick to forgive, and give you hugs:).

I always thought it sounded so cheesy and untrue when my parents would tell me "it feels just like yesterday you were born"...Well I am going to say it as well! It honestly feels like it was just yesterday that our sweet sweet little Becca came into this world. I remember that I started having really strong contractions the night of the 11th, I did not sleep the whole night. The next morning to keep myself distracted I took a shower. Nathan had a final project at school he needed to go to, so I wanted to wait till he got home to go to the hospital. I made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (weird I know) cleaned my house, and was watching a Halloween special on food network:)! My mom arrived at about the same time Nathan did, around 11 a.m. and off we went to the hospital! I had everyone in the room with me:) My mom, my mother in law, my dad, Alex at one point. I was totally in my own little world, a whole school full of kids could have come walking through for a field trip, and I would not have noticed! Anyway Becca came a little after 7 O'clock p.m. She was born on her late great grandpa Critchfield's birthday, which is really cool I think. She didn't make a single sound when she came out. She was just looking around at everything....She kept sticking her tongue out in the air like she was tasting it, just like a little lizard :). Words can't describe how instantly I fell in love with her, my whole world changed literally in a matter of seconds...I love you Becca Lou Who! The big 4...Can't believe it!
