I found something on my phone today that I totally forgot I had. Shortly after Maggie was born I wrote her story from what I thought 4 year old Wyatt's perspective would be. It took me down memory lane...I hope you all enjoy it!
My name is Wyatt. I have a little brother named Jack and a little sister named Maggie. This story is about Maggie before she came out of my mom's tummy. When my mom and dad told me that I was going to be a big brother again, I was so excited! I hoped I would get a little sister this time. I have always wanted a little sister!
The day came for my mom and dad to go to the doctor to see the baby in mom's tummy. They brought me with them so I could see, too! We saw the baby move on the tv screen and even got some printed pictures! After we left the doctor's office mom and dad said they were going to go again tomorrow. For some reason they didn't seem as excited about it.
The next day Jack and I got to go play at the babysitters while mom and dad went to the doctor again. We always have so much fun there! We got to stay and play even longer than usual because mom and dad were gone a lot longer than they planned to be. I didn't mind at all!
Later that day mom and dad finally came and picked us up. They smiled and hugged us like they always do, but they looked a little different because their eyes were all red. A few times their eyes looked wet like they were crying, but they still acted happy.
When we were back at home, mom and dad told me they wanted to talk to me. They explained that the baby wasn't growing right and that it might die and go to Heaven to be with Jesus instead of coming home to live with us.
I was sad that the baby might not get to live with us, but I also knew a lot about Heaven and Jesus. I knew that the baby would be really happy there and that I could go there someday, too! I even told my parents once that I couldn't wait to go to heaven and meet Jesus, but they said they hoped it wasn't for a long time because they would miss me. I guess I would miss them, too.
Mom and dad also told me about something called a miracle. Even though the doctors said the baby would probably die, my parents told me that God is so powerful that He can do things that people, even doctors, think are impossible. That's called a miracle! I decided I would pray every single day and ask Jesus to help the baby grow right.
A couple weeks later, my mom and dad were really excited about something. They gave me an envelope with a piece of paper inside that would tell me whether the baby was a boy or girl. I was so excited to find out! I opened it and read, "girl". I couldn't believe I finally had a sister! Her name was going to be Maggie.
It seemed like Maggie was in mom's tummy for a long time. We got to spend a lot of time playing at the babysitter's house because mom and dad had to go to the doctor a lot. It was so much fun! Sometimes mom and dad would come back happy and sometimes they would come back sad. But we still prayed for Maggie every day no matter what.
One day mom and dad woke me and Jack up in the middle of the night. It was time for Maggie to come out of mom's tummy! Everyone was so excited! Jack and I got to spend the rest of the night sleeping at the babysitter's house while mom and dad went to the hospital. The next morning we found out that Maggie was finally born! We made pink cupcakes to celebrate.
The next day dad took me and Jack to the hospital to meet Maggie for the very first time. She was so cute and I even got to hold her! After the doctors kept her for several days we found out that God healed her all the way and made her grow right. God answered my prayer! People started calling her "Miracle Maggie". I was so happy that she got to come live with us because I just love her so much!
