i can hear presley all the way downstairs from up in my room. i think she's singing "crinkle crinkle star" or maybe its "dabay to you" thats happy birthday. presley is becoming my best little friend. sometimes she'll make this strange rumbling noise and look at me with a weird smile because she wants me to say "presley, did you just burp" then she'll do it again and again until the rumble turns into a scream. we took a nap in my bed yesterday and she pulled her big girl legs out of the blanket and set them right on top of my belly. i can't believe how big she's getting. i remember the day we met and how brave and protective i had to be in that scary hospital. i remember how calm natalie seemed and i couldn't believe it because i was a nervous mother/sister wreck and i thought my heart was going to pound right out of my chest. it seems like we were in the room for hours before anyone else in the family finally showed up. we were all scattered around not expecting this at all, but when the time came and it happened, we all gathered into that little hospital room and sat quietly. dad in a chair by the window, grandma sitting down then standing up then sitting then standing. jade and i in another corner. mom and chaz in their white scrubs holding natalie's hand as they wheeled her away. i don't think much was said between the four of us while she was gone.


it definitely didn't go how we were expecting it to go. the birth story that is. but all that follows is nothing short of a teeny tiny little presley baby miracle.

and my best friend.
