Paige Michelle

I remember telling Jimmy I was pregnant with Paige like it was yesterday. Caden was about 17 months old and after being in denial myself for a few days I finally took a test and sure enough I was pregnant. Let's just say she was not planned. Jimmy wanted to wait a few years before having another one. I remember sitting in Caden's play room when Jimmy came in. I was just a little hormonal and a little nervous about telling him. I just burst into tears and told him I was pregnant. He said, "Why are you crying?" lol He was shocked to but put my fears at ease and we moved ahead planning for our next baby. I could not believe it when I found out she was a girl. I was so happy to get to experience having a son and a daughter.

Mrs. Paige has been a surprise since the very first day we knew she was coming and has continued to surprise us ever since. Labor was easy with her but she gave us a scare. I remember Jimmy had gone down stairs to meet up with his dad and Tami walked in a few minutes after I had gotten my epidural. I remember telling Tami that Paige just did a very frantic movement and now she was very still. No sooner did I say those words and nurses ran in and started doing all kinds of things to me. They had seen on the monitor that we had lost her heartbeat! What seemed like an eternity later they were able to get her heartbeat up again. Very soon after she was born healthy.

She loves her brother and can be a little bit of a tomboy. She is shy, but feisty. I guess having an older brother you have to be. She is girly in her own way. She does not like bows, and loves to wear jeans. But she loves dolls and pink and purple. She was attached to my hip for the first 2 years of her life literally. lol She is still very attached to me but I don't mind. Our relationship is special in its own way and I am in no hurry for her to grow up.

I learn something new about her everyday. Just when I think I have her figured out she surpises me again. That is my Paigy Paige for ya! It is true with children you do not have to divied your love it multiplies. I love my 2 babies so much it hurts!
