My Na'a

A year ago, after 3 long days of contractions, at 1:15 am, our little family was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Melena'a Vileti Kawailani Mana Gwyneth Garcia. 8lbs and 4oz, 20 1/2 inches long, a head full of hair and a good set of lungs, she came into this world 2 days after her due date curious and hungry. She was the hardest pregnancy for me and the longest labor. I don't think I've had so much pain in a pregnancy til hers. It was all back aches, ankle problems, hormones making me crazy (I swear it was the hormones) and it was just... A LOT. I think my hips would randomly go numb and I wouldn't be able to walk for a bit. But she has been the happiest baby since, and I just can't get enough of HER!!!


Now she's walking and talking and thinking she's a big girl. She loves to talk on the phone, watch movies and play outside with her siblings. She thinks she can run with the big kids, and with siblings like hers they help her along the way. But watch out cuz she will smack you in the face if you get on her bad side. Her most favorite person (besides me) is her grandpa. He is the only person that she will go to instead of me. She loves to eat everything, except papaya. I'm not sure why but she's never liked it. Play her a beat or just clap your hands and she'll dance for you. Sing her a song and she'll join you. Gabriel is her most favorite person to play with. He can make her laugh and giggle by just being around her. She is absolutely the sweetest child I have ever met and I am so thankful to my Father in heaven for allowing me to raise such a beautiful soul. I think all of my children are beautiful but Na'a is special to me because she can make me smile when I am sad, comforts me in my times of need and just makes me happy by just being around me. She does drive me crazy because she knows I'll pick her up whenever she cries, but how can you say no to that beautiful little face?

I can't believe how quickly time has gone and I'm thinking of having another one because I get so sad seeing my babies grow. Lol. I can't believe how big all of my children get but it is a great reminder to me to remember to hug them a little tighter and love them a little more each day. I have been so blessed and I am eternally grateful to my Father in heaven for all that he has done for me. I know I don't need a guardian angel because I have 3 beautiful angels who help me each and every day.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! Mommy loves you and I can't wait to celebrate many more with you!
