We have to go back to 2006, my mom, my best friend was dying with Leukemia. My heart was breaking. I had already lost my dad to suicide in 2000 when my 1st son was 2 months old. My dad & I was not that close. He was a drug addict & alcoholic. My mom was the one who raised me & to be honest I can not sing her praises enough. She was just my entire world. When my mom was dying I told her "I know why you are leaving me, you are leaving me to take care of Shelby." (I have had that name picked out for my daughter since I was 12, thanks to Steel Magnolias.) She smiled, nodded & said yes. I told her not to send her yet, I was not ready for her, but tell her how much I love her. A few hours later, holding my mom's hand, her looking directly at me, my mom took her last breath. It was one of the most precious moments in my life. I miss her like crazy. Fast forward to 2007, DH & I had a 6 month separation due to my infidelity, which has NEVER happened, nor will it happen again. WE made this work when all odds were against us, including family. I was content to have our 2 boys, who were my entire life at the time. He wanted to have another baby, I said no. Not long after all of my friends are either pregnant or having babies & baby fever hit me. Aug 12, 2008 I found out I was pregnant. I knew immediately it was my Shelby. Now my mom's birthday is Nov 16th & mine is Nov 19th. The ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby was Nov 20th. This is the pic I get....
It's my girl! I screamed, looked at DH & said "She did it, Mama did it." The dr looking confused said, "Your mom had nothing to do with this." I told her that she didn't understand & told her the story. My mom was a devout Christian & my due date was April 23, 2009. The morning of April 12, 2009 at 3:30 am, Easter Sunday, my water broke. At 8:50 am, we finally met our Princess:
My mom's first and middle name was Lisa Ann. Shelby's name is Shelby Lisa-Ann. My mom is her angel. I love my boys, but that little girl is my life. Growing up I never dreamed I would have boys. There was no disappointment that I had boys ever, but just always wanted my girl. I have her. As far as princess, her crib bedding should say it all...
Here is a comparison of me & my mom & Shelby & me.
Me & my mommy at the top & me & Shelby at the bottom:
Hopefully you all will understand more after reading this why you will probably hear more about Shelby than Koby & Brady.
