My Trista came into the world on June 21, 1995. I was so excited to be her Momma. I was excited and scared, as I'm sure any new parent is. I was afraid of doing everything wrong. I had a c-section so I wasn't able to hold her right away. That was awful for me. I couldn't wait to hold that beautiful little person that I had carried for nine months. Even though I couldn't hold her right away, the doctor held her up to my face. I gave her a kiss and the first words I said to her were, "Hello Baby, I'm your Mommy". As soon I could move again I never let her leave my side. The nurses kept trying to take her away so I could get some rest and I would tell them, "NO WAY"! If I fell asleep and woke up to find her missing I would call the nurses station in a panic, telling them to bring my baby back now! Trista Mae was my first true love.
