Almost ONE

My baby girl is almost ONE! I can hardly believe it in some ways and in other ways this has been the most challenging year of my life. I have had the best moments and the worst. I guess that is life!

Last year about this time I was waiting for the birth of my daughter. I had no idea what she would look like or what kind of a personality she would have. But I was very excited to meet her. The day that I did meet her was best day of my life! To me she looked perfect and I couldn’t believe that she was mine.

This post does not really have a solid theme or meaning. I just wanted to write about how excited I was to have my daughter come into the world and how excited I have been this year to spend so many special moments with her. As you’ve heard in other blog posts, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to even have a daughter or a child for that matter. So now that I do have her I am so happy and cherishing every moment that I get with her. We have already made so many special memories and I can’t wait to have many more with her. I hope that she finds in life and much happiness.

Bringing her into our blended family has been a joy. She has older brothers who love her so much and enjoy playing with her and watching her grow. It’s been really nice for me to see what a special bond she’s already developing with her brothers. Lots of people have said that once they had a OURS baby that it really helps their blended family. I think my family was pretty great before but I can definitely see that adding this little bundle of joy has brought everybody a little bit closer together. Her brother adore her and it’s so special for me to watch.

As her first birthday approaches I find joy in looking back on all the special milestones. It’s been better than I could have imagined. Baby girl you are so loved and I can’t wait to see what you become in life. You will influence the world!
