Happy 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my sweet little boy! One year ago today, I held you in my arms for the first time. Now those same little arms reach up to hug me back, and I get the joy of waking up to the most beautiful grin I've ever laid eyes on. It's been an amazing 1st year, and I look forward to all the years to come.

And just to show you how giant my sweet babies hands were from day one:
He has grown into them a bit. I will admit that amidst the tears on first seeing Levi, I also laughed because I had never seen a little baby with such huge hands and feet.

One Year Ago Today

One year ago today, I got a huge surprise. I was having a baby! It wasn't the baby part that was a shock, it was the fact that it was going to be the next morning. I was sure he wasn't coming for another couple of weeks. When I went in for my regular pre-natal appointment, my doctor figured out that my body was running out of amniotic fluid, which is a bad thing. So that night I went to the hospital. I'm going to skip the painful and gory details because they really are painful and gory. Suffice it to say that Levi entered this world via emergency c-section after 10 hours or so of labor. Despite the pain and gore of it all, when they popped that little munchkin up above the curtain, my heart melted. I've never been so darn stinkin' happy to see anyone.
