My first baby is 5!!!! Actually she was 5 last Thursday but with the pace life is moving the last few weeks it is amazing this is only week late. Alyssa Kate Heltz was born at 2:49 am after about 8 hours of labor. My water broke at home while we were putting the crib together, I thought I peed on myself at first but she was just ready to play. After my epidural I slept through most of my labor and when the nurse woke me up and told me it was time to push I was slightly confused. After three full pushes she came into the world howling. She was a tiny thing that the nurse actually rounded up to get her weight at 6lbs 1 oz. She is such an amazing gift from God. We tried for a couple years to have a child and had a miscarriage five months before we got pregnant with Alyssa Kate. While choosing a name for her I loved the name Kate but did not want her name to be just "Kate" without something it was short for as her official first name. So we choice Alyssa which is my middle name. I love that we are connected in that way.
Now that she is 5 I can not believe how fast the time has past. She is totally the guinea pig, the poor child. She started with two very green parents and it is amazing how wonderful she has turned out :). She is such a smart, sweet girl who takes my breath away at times with how completely amazing she is. God surprises me daily with how much this little girl can challenge me and show me His love at the same time.
Alyssa Kate loves to be read to and is improving in sounding out words by herself. She loves to pretend to cook, clean and take care of babies. She adores her little sister and likes to help with everything! She is a pleaser who doesn't push too many boundaries but will speak her mind when it is important to her. She has her daddy's eyes and my attitude. She loves to snuggle and be close and would rather fall asleep wrapped up in her daddy's arms than anywhere else.
