Well most of you that know me know my god daughter Faith. For those of you that don't know Faith, she is the daughter of one of my best friends and we along with my sister lived together when Faith was born. (Best roommates ever :) lol) anyway Miss Faith has had her Aunt Krystle's heart and wrapped around her little finger since the day she came into this world. She is such a strong and spunky little girl and always has been. She has grown so much from that little 3.5 pounder to long legged big girl she is today. I feel very blessed that Jess allowed me to be a part of her life because it has been such a joy to see her grow up.
The week she came home from the hospital
She was our little cheerleader
When I took the job here in the Savannah area I was so excited for the opportunity but also sad to be leaving my girl. When mommy had to work Faith and Aunt Krystle got to have all kinds of fun and spend time together so I knew by moving all of that would change.
I cherished the last few days we had together because I knew it wouldn't ever be quit the same. We went to the park, had ice cream... You know the fun stuff. Lol ;) leaving that day was so hard it just broke my heart.
one of our dates :)
Of course I came home, we spent time together, they visited and we talked on the phone and yes she is still my girl.
another date...I think we have issues with sweets lol
When Derek came into the picture at first Faith was NOT a fan! She did not like someone else coming in and taking away her Aunt Krystle. Jess would tell her "Aunt Krystle is coming this weekend" and Faith would say "not Dewrek right? " lol. But as time went on and she came to visit us here they became friends. Now she loves Derek.
See she loves Derek
and her Aunt Krystle
Well now we have reached a couple new mile stones.... Faith is about to graduate from pre-k in 2 weeks. I can't believe it, where has the time gone? She was just our little baby and now she is graduating pre-k. She is also turning 5 in less than a month...5? We where just waiting for her to get to be 5 lbs so she could come home from the NICU not 5 years old :( And last but not least, now I am expecting a little bundle of joy of my own.
Faith was never jealous of my other niece Lillian, I think mainly because Lillian was older and around when she was a baby. Lillian lives in Charleston now so they don't see each other much. At our wedding they were friends!
Anyway... I have been ecstatic about the baby since we past the 12 week mark and have wanted to tell everyone and it was so easy. I will tell you I had one person to tell that wasn't so easy....yep you guessed it...Faith. I was so nervous...yes nervous about telling a 4.5 year old, mainly because I want her to be excited like us, I want her to love this little baby like its her cousin. I don't want her to be jealous :(
I went by to visit the last time I was in town, it took me forever to get up the courage but I did and I thought it went really well. She wanted to see the ultrasound picture but she didn't understand why the picture wasn't in color lol. At the time I told her that the baby was only the size of a lemon and she thought that was cool. I asked her what did she want the baby to be a boy or girl and she said girl!
I hope they will be best friends!
