Last night I put a baby to bed. This morning a toddler woke me up.
This past year has been filled with so much joy, sadness, love, and frustration, but I wouldn't have changed it for anything.
I can still remember everything leading up to the birth of A. The last doctor apointment I had, when we were sent down to L&D, so excited to meet our baby girl. Then to be told that everything looked fine and we could go home, just to return again in three days for my scheduled induction.
Trying so hard to deal with the Pitocin induced contrations for as long as I could without the epidural. And finally breaking down at 9 o'clock at night, when I was told I was still at 2cm. Then, less than two hours after I was given the epidural, my sweet baby girl arrived at 10:57pm. We were even able to capture that precious moment on video.
Coming home so she could meet her big brother for the first time. Poor J, he had no clue what to expect, even though we tried our best to prepare him ahead of time.
Experiencing every milestone with her, from the first smile, to her first laugh. Sitting up, crawling, standing, and now walking, all special memories I will forever hold close to my heart.
Ariana Grace, you have changed our lives in ways you'll never know. We love you so much.
Mommy, Daddy, and Bubbub
