365 days. This has been the quickest 365 days of my life. It has also been the most fufliling. My pregnancy with LeeAnn was close to perfect. We had some issues in the beginning with hormone levels that eventaully worked themselves out...but with the exception of that, it was flawless. This was really a sign as to what was to come. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous when I found out we were having a GIRL. I felt like I had a pretty good grasp on the #boymom life and I was loving it. Little did I know what I was missing out on…
A year ago today I went to be induced. My anxiety was through the roof because of Nash’s birth (more in dept blog post to come on how that went...but basically - yikes!) I had to mentally prepare myself for another no-meds/no-epidural birth...and that terrified me. But the Lord was so, so good and I couldn’t have had a more beautiful birth. It was nearly 100% pain free, I was alert, she was here with less than 1 full push and she was perfect.
She began sleeping through the night by 4-5 weeks. She was happy and smiling whenever she was awake. She would let anyone hold her. She wasn’t bothered by her loud brother. She was a real life dream-baby.
This continued through her first year of life. She is full of joy and happiness.
Most would not believe through her smiles how many ear infections, viruses, RSV, more ear infections, antibiotics, congestion, fluid in her lungs, tubes, breathing treatments and MORE ear infections this little one has had. She is still such a light and joy.
I could go on and on about how amazing she is but I’ve got some serious snuggling’, lovin’, and party preppin’ to do for my ONE YEAR OLD!
