My Angel Joy . . .

When my mom was pregnant her and a dear friend of hers, Joy, prayed that I would be a girl. Boys ran on my fathers side of the family and everyone was convinced that I would be a boy. Well, to everyones surprise I was born and became the first and only girl in four generations. My mom named me after her dear friend that had sent up so many prayers for me. Somewhere along the line I got the nickname Angel Joy. I am not sure if it was my mom or Joy that came up with it but that was what I was called at times.

When I got pregnant again last May I know that my mom and I were both praying that I was going to have a little girl. I would have been pleased to have a boy or a girl but a big part of me had always wanted to have a girl. I had completely convinced myself that I was having a boy. I just knew it and when I found out that I was having a girl I just couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it. Phoebe has been a part of my life for 2 months and I am still in awe that she is here. I just can't get over it that I have a little girl. She just melts my heart every single day. She is so very sweet and words just can't describe how awesome it is to have her in our family. I feel truly blessed to have my own little Angel Joy.
