Happy Birthday Sweet Girl

Well the big day is here. I honestly cannot believe that it has been a year. In fact it will officially be a year in 38 minutes. Abbi was born at 3:36pm.

I don't think one can understand the feelings of being a mom until you are a mom. It is filled with highs and lows, yet love remains constant.

Almost one

I can't believe it...a year ago I was in early labour. I cut the grass, went for a big walk and then had a midwife appointment. In a day, Abbi will be one. I know people say this but seriously, where does the time go? At times I thought I would never survive, at times I have been so overwhelmed with feelings of joy, sorrow, frustration and of course love. No one can prepare you for parenthood. It happens the day you give birth and have a helpless bundle to take care of. There are times when you feel so inadequate, and times when you feel you have none of the answers. However God has a plan and just when you think you can't take anymore, or you can't survive without sleep or adult contact, a glimmer of hope happens. Next thing you know a year has passed and you can't help but miss that helpless bundle. How remarkable it is. What a true wonderment.

Love you kiddo! You are my sunshine, that is for sure.
