My BABY is ONE!

It was one year ago, today, that my sweet #3 graced us with her presence in this world.

Meleah Faye Estelle was born at 8:00 am on Wednesday, September 3, 2008. You can read her birth story here (please keep in mind, that it was one of my first posts… lol). Yes, I really had her naturally… without any medication. And, no, it did not hurt. I only had a few painful contractions, and they came about 20 minutes BEFORE she was born.

Children are a priceless treasure. We are so blessed by our three girls.

The history behind the name…

Meleah is a special girl… we named her after my grandmothers, who have lived with Jesus for several years now. I may be sentimental, but I like to think that my Gigi and Mamaw “met” Meleah before we did.

Mildred Faye is my maternal grandmother, Gigi, who went by her middle name: Faye.

Estelle comes from my paternal grandmother, Mamaw, whose full name was Frankie Juanita Estelle.

Meleah is a name we fell in love with, and she shares the name with a girl who went to church camp with us last summer.
