FOUR … WHAT A NUMBER

For me just recently this number has had some significant meaning. Not only does it mean my little girl is turning 4, but it is also the last 4 months left in this pregnancy that got me put on bed rest. Maggie turning 4 – It is hard to believe that 4 years ago today my world changed forever. Margaret Elaine Martin was brought into this world. You get so excited the day you get married, and think nothing better can happen to put you on cloud 9. Well, having your first child makes your world just one thing better. Maggie has been a fun 3 year old. We have had our moments when she test us, but overall I wouldn’t change anything about my sweet little girl. Some things about Maggie – *Everything is a big deal (can we say drama!) *She weighs 36 pounds *She carries around a sea horse that she calls “baby.” Now, she has a blanket that she loves and a frog that are part of our world as well, however baby is our new trend. *She has her best bud, Will! Will and Maggie do almost everything together and it’s really fun to watch. Michael and Jonathan are part of our lives as well. The 4 kids have grown up to be wonderful friends. *She is into Disney, Barbie, and playing nymnastics! Yes, that is gymnastics, but we have our own special name for it. *Maggie will come home most days and put on a leotard. It is her outfit of choice. Most days she begs to wear it under her dress. *Most importantly Maggie’s favorite thing is cheese. No, she is not my kid, but she is for sure her dad’s kid. Cheese runs in their blood stream!
The last four years have been absolutely amazing. We can’t wait to see what the rest of it brings. Four months left and you’re doing what to me?... I have now started week 5 of bed rest. It was not what we had planned, but it is what is needed to keep baking this baby! Overall, it has been a trying time, but we are learning to manage. Maggie and Jack have been true troopers. Our friends and family have been a great support as well. Again, I can’t say enough words about my husband who has taken charge and has been the best dad and husband a girl can count on. I am really testing out our wedding vows! FOUR…What a number. Can’t wait to see what else we have in store.
