She was born four days past her estimated due date and looked huge in her incubator. I imagined her to be especially delicate and feminine. I couldn't wait to frill her up, and more importantly to do her hair !

ReplyDeleteThanks for all of the tips I'm taking note for myself and my 3 year old daughter.
