Then there was you...

We have reached the official birth time of 9:43 pm...12 minutes until the placenta's birthday. It is still in my freezer, I joked about dethawing it and having a birthday for it too.

Feeling much better after my rant yesterday. I realized two things, I get cranky when I haven't exercised in awhile and the one year thing is pretty monumental for me too. It is kind of my birth day anniversary, a year ago today I gave birth after all.

I tried to think of fun things to do today for M that wasn't all about errands for the birthday party, so we went swimming with Jack and G and then out for a hamburger with Kristen and Kyle. It's funny because I was supposed to go to the movies with them on the day I gave birth, so we made up for our date today. Then we went home and I made dinner and pumpkin bread and we re-inacted birth. Ha, ok we didn't do that last part, but we did read through the minutes of our labour, a 4 hour and 22 minutes journey into the outside world.

I could really go on and on about how amazing it is to have a baby and how my life has changed and she has fulfilled me, blah-di-blah and it's all true of course, but I find words can't describe the feeling I get when I hear her giggle or squeeze her chubby legs. It was just us and then one cold day, one year ago, just as it began to snow, there was you. You perfect little being. Thanks for joining us on this adventure. I am so excited to see you grow and learn.
