Happy 1st Birthday Abbi!

I am reflecting on the day that I gave birth to the most precious being. It chokes me up to think of all that we went through to get that sweet girl here. I just can't believe it has been a year!! I remember her being born like it was yesterday. I can almost remember the feeling of labor. Luckily, that isn't enough to scare me away from trying again! In fact, I am excited to do the whole pregnancy thing again! I just want to enjoy my baby girl a little bit longer, before we jump in. Anyway, I can't begin to explain the gifts that she has given me, patience being one of them. But, also, the most powerful feeling of love that can never be explained, only experienced. She has made my life more rich than I had ever wished for, and had only fantasized about, until she arrived. I knew I was supposed to be a mother, and I know I will never be perfect enough, but love gives me strengths that I never knew I had. So, Happy Birthday to my little Abbigail! I am so proud of her, and I look forward to learning more and watching her do the same!
