Happy Birthday Sweet Baby Girl

It's hard to believe that it's already been one year. Happy birthday sweet Baby Girl. 

After my miscarriage, I didn't want to worry about getting pregnant. I didn't want to "try" and I didn't want to be concerned with when the "right time" was. After about eight weeks, on a hunch, I took a pregnancy test and sure enough, it was positive. I was excited, but guarded.

The first two trips to the Dr's office were dismal as she could not detect a heartbeat. Infact, after the second visit, she suggested it could be an ectopic pregnancy, so off we went to take a more intensive ultrasound. But much to our joy, although very faint, the grainy screen picked up your heartbeat.  At that moment, for the amount of worrying we had already done, hubby said it's gotta be a girl. And he was right.

We've spent the last year watching you grow and develop. You love to give hugs, play shy and bury your face in my shoulder and laugh at your big brother's silly antics. Instead of first learning to crawl, you preferred to roll from your back to your belly to get from point A to point B. You enjoy playing the xylophone, listening to music and going for rides in the stroller.  Your hair, however, is a good indication at what a unique and special little girl you are. For the first several months, you literally had a mohawk (or faux hawk). From the front to back, it stood straight up. Recently, it's taken on a new twist. The front lays down, but the back still stands tall. It's quite the conversation starter as even strangers in the grocery store like to comment on it. I love it. It's what makes you, you.

So as your birthday draws to a close, I look forward to another year of firsts. Happy birthday sweet Baby Girl. You make us so proud.

Isn't it amazing our hearts don't burst with all the love we try to contain for our children?

Happy Birthday to your Sweet Baby Girl, your wonderful gift from heaven, possessor of cool hair from birth.
