Happy 5th Birthday, Maggie!

Five years ago, sweet Maggie was born. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long because time flies.

We were thrilled about meeting Maggie, but we didn’t know what to expect. (Does any first-time parent?) She was taken to the NICU for a few minutes after she was born because she was pre-term (“near-term”—36 weeks), but when she was about two hours old, the nurse brought her to the room and let us spend some time alone with her. Words can’t even describe how sweet those moments were.
I love watching Maggie grow. She is turning out to be such a sweet little girl. She has such a special, kind heart. I know God has great things planned for her, and I can’t wait to see His plans unfold.
But for now, I’m thinking back five years ago, to that wonderful day Maggie came into our lives. And saying a prayer of thanksgiving for our little girl.
Happy 5th birthday, Maggie!
