1 year old!
My sweet girl! I am in disbelief at how quickly this past year has gone and that you are turning ONE today! I have been thinking back over your birth the past few days and it fills me with such joy and also sadness. I remember being so unfamiliar with you- literally a stranger to me- and holding you for the first time and being so scared about you having trauma. I asked your birth mama to borrow her jacket and kept it on you while you were doing skin to skin with me. I secretly recorded her talking about her birth when I went to visit her the evening you were born- I didn't want to leave you alone in the room for a second, but I think she was asking for me, so I went and she was so happy and relived that it all went well and you were healthy. She was laughing and I was so happy to have that video to play her voice for you. But your sweet daddy lost all the pics/vids on my phone from your first two weeks of life, so I don't have it anymore *cry*. We were so exhausted with 4 kid...
