I Always Wished for a daughter....

When I was pregnant with my 4th child, the physicians told me there was no medical possibility of carrying the pregnancy to full term. They advised terminating the pregnancy. We couldn't do that and waited for nature to take its course. As months passed, the medical team gave no reasonable answers to the continuation of the pregnancy. Of course we knew that Priesthood blessings and a loving Heavenly Father was in charge and we were anticipating our miracle to arrive.

I had always dreamed of have a daughter, but again the physicians told me we would be blessed with another son, making 4 boys. Because my pregnancies were high-risk, they also recommended that this be my last pregnancy. We accepted the idea that this was our last baby and I was to be the mother of sons. 

The nursery was painted blue and on the eve of the delivery, "my men" went to the airport to pick up Grandma Jacobson. She was coming to help during my scheduled C-Section the following morning. Our 3 year old son, Jon, greeted Grandma and excitedly exclaimed, "Tomorrow my SISTER is coming from heaven"! Everyone shrugged their shoulders and thought how silly a 3 year old could be!

Miracle after miracle occurred during these 9 months and much to our surprise our baby was born on November 20, 1990, and IT was a GIRL! Katelyn has continued to surprise us throughout her life. As much as I love my boys (and that's a lot!) my life became complete with the birth of a daughter.

Never did I realize that I would equally be blessed with becoming the mother of two additional daughters, through the marriages of our sons. I couldn't have chosen more suitable daughters than I've received. I love you Katelyn, McKensie, and Jerah! My wishes have come true!

I have many dreams of good things to come in our lives. The best part is that this in not a dream anymore -- it is reality. Here are a few of the things that I wish for you! (See video clip!)
