" I Got You Day"

Okay so this is a letter to my little sister Saydie Mae who was our first foster child and we adopted her at 8months. I wrote this about the day she came to us on mothers day. I really have not had time to look over it so any help or ideas of ways to word parts would be great! or if something needs to be taken out or put in.

Dear Saydie Mae,

It was friday May 11th 2000, when mom got the phone call that someone very special had just entered the world. Two days later was mothers day but most importantly "i got you" day. I remember that morning before church we made sure everything was ready in the nusery, diappers were put away your clothes were all washed folded and hung, your crib made and bassenett all ready for your first night home! Church could not have gotten over any faster for your arrival to our family was just a few hours away. We were all sitting at Aunt Dana and Uncle Ronnies waiting to eat. I was sitting next to grandma holding one of the twins who were born just a few weeks before, when the garage door opened and mom walked in with a car seat in hand. I still remember the first time i saw you, a little 7lbs 12 oz baby girl with the name mercades lynn but mom had already decieded we would call you Saydie! You had tons of dark black hair and the redest skin ever. You really did look like an indian baby. You sat in your carseat and slept with your plug in your mouth and a lady bug blanket next to you. Of course mom had changed you into a cute little spring outfit, and you smelled like baby magic baby lotion. I remember the first time i touched your little 3 day old fingers, and watching mom lift you from your carseat as your tiny body curled up and your head fell back into her fingers. As you started to stretch your plug fell and immediately your lips puckerd, we knew right off you were going to be high maintence! As i stood in awe looking at you, i couldnt help but to already wonder what sport i was going to teach you first! Right away we felt complete with you, having a feeling you would always be a member of our family little did we know in just a few months you were going to be ours on paper too! Your name was finaly changed on December 6th 2000 by Judge Sifferman to Saydie Mae Barnes. Your middle name came from Great grandma Noe Mae, little did we know she would become very special to you! You have changed our world forever, we could never tell you how much of a pleasure it is to have you in our life! I love you Saydie! Love Sister!
