The Terrific Terrible Twos!

It all started 3yrs ago...when we found out we were PREGNANT... and with pregnancy came along all my health issues...from Gestational Diabetes, preeclampsia, to blurry vision and droopy eyes, slurred speech, became unable to swallow both solid food and liquids, and finally got to the point that I couldn't breath on my own. Which caused me to be hospitalized at 36weeks pregnant, intubated twice, and had to have an emergency c-section, and was FINALLY diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis ( long story short). Although looking back at it now I wouldn't change anything that I went through...not one single thing. Everything I had gone through and was still to come suddenly all became worth it on 8/23/08 this is when we meet the most wonderful, beautiful and loving little girl, our Kaelyn Marie Pirtle. All it took was one look in those big brown eyes and nothing else mattered, because for her I would do it again in a heartbeat. She's our little blessing and a TRUE miracle. Each and everyday I am grateful to God for allowing me to be apart of her life. I have been lucky enough to be here with her and experience every single one of her miles stones so far.

Fast Forward 2yrs and here we are now.....From temper tantrums to attempting potty training...life seems to get busier and busier as the days go on and we wouldn't want it any other way. Day by day Kaelyn amazes us with something new. She is definetely the apple of our eye and our "pride and joy" Each and everyday we count our BLESSINGS. It is just incredible how much a two year old soaks up. They are with no doubt a "sponge" at this age, which in my opinion is  awesome and a little scary at the same time. She is now counting, recognizing colors, numbers and shapes..and her vocabulary is growing each day..It is truely an amazing feeling to learn her likes and dislikes...to find out she shares a passion for things that you share aswell..She is such a happy girl, and when she hears a beat she can't help but to shake her little body. She loves all animals big and small..She is just a very loving girl, but I can't foget to mention she is developing her little personality and a diva attitude! Ahhhh the the wonders of The Terrific Terrible Twos! It's true what they say life flies by when you're having fun..and this is why I'm doing by best to enjoy every aspect of being a mother of a two year old...because in no time she'll be 18 and I will be wishing  my "little girl" was still in her terrible twos...
