Last semester, we all did Mother’s Day Out. I taught in the baby class with you and Liam for awhile, but Bub was driving me crazy with his clinginess, so we moved him next door. This semester, we decided it would be best if you and I stayed home while Liam goes to school. We all needed this.
I needed to miss him during the day.
He needed to socialize with friends and other adults.
You needed me all to yourself for a bit.
From the moment we dropped him off, you were jabbering away. I think you knew it was just us. You sure do love your brother, but everyone needs a break occasionally. We ended up running around with Aunt Shelby for the day, and you were ok with that. Your great mood carried over to the evening where you signed “mama” and “dada” repeatedly and told us everything on your mind.
Next week, I plan to bring you home while Liam is at school and work on stretching, standing, sitting, reaching…basically have PT/OT boot camp until you need to take a quick nap and we go pick him up. So rest up…my MDO’s are going to be your major workout days!

To my precious baby Audrey:
This is my letter to you beginning the day you were born. You are the bravest little girl, and I thought one day you would appreciate knowing how your life started out and how much you were loved through it all. I don't want you to ever doubt that if we could have picked any child, we would have picked you.
All my love,
Mama

Playlist
Your Songs
These are what I would consider to be "our songs". And this is why...
1)"Fingerprints" by Steven Curtis Chapman--I have always loved this one and it is my favorite song for you. It makes me cry.
2) "Be Still" by Storyside:B--This song came out around the time you were born. I had many of those "face down upon the floor" moments in those days.
3) "Letting Go" by Francesca Battistelli--Obviously, this is not what we planned for ourselves. But we have learned to let go of our own dreams and find joy in what God is doing in your life.
4) "Miracle of the Moment" also by Steven Curtis Chapman -- When I found out I was pregnant with you, I cried. Daddy and I had only been married 6 weeks and I wanted to wait awhile longer. As I was sobbing that day, I heard this song for the first time and did as it said. I took a big breath, calmed myself down and realized you were a miracle--and those moments weren't to be missed. When you were born, this song spoke to me on a whole new level. I tear up listening to it now.
I'm sure I will add more as I think of them. I love you Audrey Boo.
