Birthday reminasces

It's amazing how fast time seems to go when you have a child of your own. Today is Addie's first birthday, and at about this time a year ago I was probably trying to sleep, despite my high adrenaline still running. We got through those first couple weeks of sleepless nights. And looking back, I wouldn't trade those nights for anything. Thank you, God, for the blessing and gift of Adeline and her life on this earth.

Eating her hand at 20 weeks. So hard not to find out what we were having at that time, but I'm so glad we didn't. It was the best "surprise" in the world when the doc held her up, even though I thought it was a girl the whole time. :)

Welcome to our world.

At home, just a few days old .
