"That little girl is gonna change you!" Oh, if we only had a nickle for every time someone said that to us when they found out we were expecting a girl. Of course we knew they were wrong. We were seasoned professionals after all. We'd been to the delivery room twice already and had survived more than four years with two preschoolers. Surely another baby even a baby girl wouldn't be much different.We were right...well sort of. The diapers and the feedings and the late nights were the same but there was something different about having a little girl. Particularly for her father. Sure there was lots of pink and a much higher pitch to her crying but it was and is something else. It's more internal, more of a heart matter. When that little girl snuggles up next to you and whispers she loves you (or even something more trivial like she wants a snack) it's special. So those folks, the ones we blew off when they predicted the change, those folks were right. And we are grateful for the difference. Happy birthday baby girl. Three years has gone all too quickly!
