Dear Trinity Grace,
I hope that you will forgive me for being over a month late in writing your birthday post. It seems that your mother is incapable of maintaining a blog and going to college at the same time. So even though your birthday was April 3rd, I still want you to know how happy I am that you are 3 years old!
The day before you were born, I went to see my doctor and she said that Mommy’s blood pressure was so high that they had to deliver you right away. You actually weren’t supposed to be born for another 3 weeks! I didn’t have anything ready for you to come home yet; all your clothes and your car seat were still in the attic. Thankfully, Daddy and Grandma Beth came and took care of all of it. We hadn’t even decided on your name yet. Daddy had his favorite name and I had my favorite. About an hour before you were born, I felt like God was whispering to my heart that your Daddy needed to be the one to name you, that it would be important to you later. So you became Trinity Grace, and I am so glad! Now it doesn’t seem like any other name would fit you. You were so very tiny at 5 lbs. 11 oz. and I don’t think you were quite ready to be here, but you were a fighter. You had quite a bit of hair (which was a surprise because your big sister hardly had any hair at all!) with very blond streaks in it. It was like you had already been to the hair salon for highlights.
You’re still my petite little girl, but you are definitely not a baby anymore! I love your silly, sassy, sweet, and stubborn personality (most of the time. I could definitely use a little less of the stubbornness at mealtimes, though). You like to make people laugh, and you think your big sister, Asia is the coolest person in the world.
I know adding your little brother, Moses to our family has not been easy for you, but I am so proud of you for being willing to let him in your life. Even though he is going to be bigger than you very soon (he already wears bigger shoes and weighs the same as you, but you are still taller), you’ll always be his big sister. I know that you and Moses will have a special bond as you get older.
Happy Birthday, sweet Trina Grace!
Grandma Dixie is very glad that God placed you in our family, Trina. I love your silly & sweet personality (I haven't experienced your sassy or stubborn part). I remember when I came to give you, Asia & Moses your Christmas presents last year, you would tickle my feet when I wasn't looking. And you drew me the prettiest picture for Mother's Day & wished me a Happy Valentine's Day because you liked the sound of that better. You are so precious to me. I love you. Grandma Dixie
ReplyDeleteHard to believe she is 3! Tell her late Happy Birthday from us!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. And I am incapable of having my kitchen remodeled (something I've played NO part in) and getting on the internet to keep up with all my friends! Missed two blog posts!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe definitely love that little girl! Happy Birthday, Trina!
