Happy 3rd Birthday Jorja May

Three years ago today Jorja May (pronounced Georgia) -- nickname JJ,  was born (January 12th, 2007)...she was born at 7:16 p.m. weighing 6 pounds, 14 ounces and measured 19 3/4 inches long.  Of course since this was our last pregnancy, she was the most difficult.  Early on we learned I had placenta previa, so I would need to have a C-section.

On her birth day...

Proud daddy Chris holding her!

Then she started turning blue...next stop NICU for 12 days --- what a trip that was, her lungs weren't fully developed...but she is a fighter!

Mommy stayed in the hospital the whole time with baby and daddy handle the home front...with help from friends.  Here are Cyrus and Jackson during one of their many visits.

(Cyrus, Jackson, Kyra and Jorja May)

Happy homecoming --- Kyra was so excited we had another girl...daddy called her after we got out of surgery to tell her the good news, everyone could hear her screaming!

JJ and her bumbo --- what a great invention!

The above picture is of Jorja May on her first birthday.  Grandma Carol used to put a silver dollar, rosary, and shot glass in front of the grandkids on their first birthday.  Whatever they grabbed first would let the parents know what their future holds.  JJ grabbed the rosary... God knows we have done enough praying over her!

This is Jorja May on her second birthday...with her first baby doll!

Jorja loves Dora...maybe a little too much.  She loves going to the farm, helping mama counting eggs.  She has to have two binkies at a time, one for her mouth and the other for her nose - she doesn't know yet, but they will be leaving the house soon.  She calls Kyra - sissy, Jackson - Jacky and Cyrus - cy cy.  If it is your lucky day, she will tell you..."you know what... you my best friend".  She screams when daddy walks in the door, she has a wonderful ability to make anyone smile and is always willing to give you a hug.

Happy Birthday day baby...we are very excited to see the person you will grow into!

Love,

Michelle
