I wanted to hold her sooooo BAD!

My Darling Ruby, I can't believe you are three. You have brought so much joy and happiness into my life. After 23 hours of labor, they had to take you out of my tummy. You were born at 3:25pm and my life was and is forever changed. When I woke up after the c-section, my heart was aching so bad to see you, to feel you, to smell you. As I write this, my heart aches the same and always will when you are not by me. I have always wanted you. I have always dreamed about you. When I finally had you, my heart was consumed with love. You are becoming such a wonderful child. You are kind and caring, helpful and generous, compassionate and sweet, lovable and likable... you are my girl! I am so proud of you and I hope I can be the best mommy for you. I hope I can give you a childhood filled with wonder and imagination, fun and safety, and love and support.
Ruby likes: water, the beach, her sissy, cheese, MILK, parks, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Pinocchio, helping me cook - bake - garden, being outside, painting, her friends, her family, going anywhere, planes, birthday parties, bouncers, the moon...
Ruby dislikes: getting her hair combed, LOUD NOISES - vacuum - trash truck - screaming, crying babies - she gets upset if we are at Target and she here's a baby crying - she wants to go see if they are ok, most food, when I am upset with her, when I go to work.
Funny Ruby story: This was a couple of months ago... we were in line at Costco and it was very crowded. We were just a couple feet from the line next to us. Ruby says: "Oh momma, is that a cute chocolate baby?". I look and it is a darling little black baby. I panicked... Oh s@@t, please be quiet Ruby. The mom did not look like she would think that was funny. I have NEVER said anything like that before. Then Ruby says "Is he my friend?". "Does he want to play with me?". It was too funny. Then, on a different note, a couple of day ago I was doing the dishes and Ruby said "Excuse me!". I asked her if she tooted, and she replied: "Nope, this one came out of my mouth!".
