Dear Kallyn,
You are within a few days of turning 5. What an awesome 5 years it has been. You came into our lives as quite a wonderful surprise. We had to go to alot of doctors to be able to have your brother. I only thought I would have one child. When Tommy was about to turn five and go to kindergarten we decided to sell our house and build a new one. We were very excited about this! Two days after we moved in I was not feeling so well and it turns out I had a baby on the way! It was such an awesome surprise. I knew you were a girl from day one. My pregnancy was easy and I sailed through without a single issue, unlike your brother with whom I was very sick and lost 30 pounds.
You were born on a very sad week. Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Alot of people lost everything and passed away. It was very sad to be in the hospital and see all the news coverage. You were born September 3rd 2005. You weighed in at a good 9lbs. You were a bit smaller then your brother who was a sturdy 9.9 pounds! The nurses told me they were going to fix you up with the little newborn boy next door who was 11 pounds! LOL After you were born I sent your dad to the nursery with you so you would not be alone when getting your check up. I heard stories from several people, including the nurses, that he was rubbing your head and said now I have 3 people to protect.
You grew up so fast. You are super independent and self assured. Nothing is impossible for you!
You have a way about you that makes you very charming and irresistible. I love you so much! I am so lucky to have you! Happy Birthday Kallyn!
