Somebody Is 1 Today


One year ago today,
this little beauty joined our family.
I was surprised to find out the previous weeks
at how fast my body was preparing for birth.

At my 38th week appointment
the midwife said...
"well, your dilated to a 4,
very soft and I think she might
drop out of you at any second.
Can someone come pick up your other kids,
because we're having this baby today!"

I was shocked!
Things had never been like this for me,
but I was grateful to have the pregnancy over
sooner then later.

And within 2 hours of popping my water
and then progressing from a 5 to a 10
and giving birth in 30 mins,
made it the CRAZIEST 30 mins
of my life.

Although it was hard, it was worth it.
Happy 1st Birthday Keira Jane!!
