Beth is turning 1

WOW...

I remember those first 2 weeks. I was scared I was going to do something horribly wrong and she wasnt gonna make it. Scared I wasnt gonna feed her enough. or not care for her correctly. Or drop her or fall down the steps while holding her. I was delirious with paranoia that lasted basically this whole year. I am creeping slowly away from new mommy syndrome. Ive kicked the habit of separation anxiety. My stomach no longer feels empty without the presence of her life in my belly but my heart is full of a love that I cannot even describe if I knew every eloquent word ever recorded in mans speaking history. Nothing could do any justice to express how this Year ONE with Elizabeth was.

She made it. I made it. We made it. I did something right. Or maybe not so horribly wrong as I thought that I would. Im such a mom now though. Its funny to notice the changes.

Beths bday party was yesterday. We are preparing to attend another party today. I am abundantly blessed. My family is perfect and whole with the addition of Elizabeth and I cannot imagine my right now without her.

Happy Birthday to my first born child Elizabeth Grace. Mommy Loves you!
