Nevertheless...

From the moment she was conceived, more specifically once we knew she was a girl, the quote that I associated with our LO was “…and though she be but little, she is fierce”. She was the first to survive the deep freeze as an embryo, the first of half a dozen to successfully stick to me and she even held on for dear life when I was diagnosed with a threatened abortion (miscarriage). Pregnancy was not without its difficulties, nor was delivery which ended in an emergency C-section. But through it all, she was fierce!

But, in recent months, a new quote has begun to suit her character even better; her persistence, her stubbornness, her determination, and her tenacity.

And what an inspirational quote it is! I am not one to go into politics publicly so look it up to find what made it go viral a couple of years ago.

As I begin to map out her big girl room in my mind, I think I will incorporate this into her wall art the way I had the former. After all, I have gotten to know her a lot more over the years and I think this one rings truer.
