You've poured your heart into this post. It's so good that Maddie has you and Leigh, two parents who are very loving and stable. I understand that feeling of wanting to provide a stable home. I understand that feeling well. It's what I want to do, too. Amanda, I’ve read this a few times. You’ve poured your heart into this post.

It took me a long time to think about what to say about her. Her death really made me reflect on the relationships I have now and the fact that we never really know all parts and pieces of someone and once they go you never have the chance to ask them. It made me appreciate that all of us are human and sometimes we really have to overlook the shortcomings. I'm constantly re-learning that lesson! Thanks for that.

I loved reading about your reflections on you and your mom. I could immediately see you in your mom in the back and white picture of the two of you. Madeline is a lucky girl.

Don't know if we'll be able to understand the baby talk, but I'm sure their personalities will be out in full force!

That little cow tale is darling. I had those same thoughts about dressing Elizabeth as a chili pepper. I fell on the side of dress her up. I thought, well, it's her first Halloween! You only get one. I'm so glad I did dress her up, because it will always be a sweet memory for me. And, it will be something for her as well. Maybe next year, we can dress them up together, and have a little costume party? Cutest little cow I ever saw! That little cow tale is darling.

I just can't wait to see what she looks like when she gets older. It's just amazing how her looks have changed since birth, but I can only see it when I go back to those earlier photos. They do change fast. Not boring at all. I love hearing it. I just can’t wait to see what she looks like when she gets older.

I find myself watching her while she sleeps and just falling more and more in love. It helps to remember those moments when she's screaming inconsolably. She thanks you for that compliment.
