Can you believe that it has been eleven months since I was sent to the hospital, straight from my 36 week MFM and OB appointment, to prep for a cesarean birth of this precious angel?

Eleven months ago !!

I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I have a baby girl.  She is a culmination of my every dream come true. It still feels surreal.  

I lie still at night in the wee hours and watch her sleep.  I sit in awe of God’s grace and His gift to me.

My daughter has met and exceeded all expected milestones, despite being born a month early.

She will soon be walking unassisted.  The only thing she has not gotten yet is teeth.  For a baby who has been teething since two months old, I fully expected to see two teeth spring up on the bottom by now, but no such luck. Teeth will poke through the gums when they are good and ready. 

Babies look so funny when teeth start coming in anyway so I should be more patient.

I still can not believe that in a month I will be celebrating my daughter’s first birthday. One whole year ! Unbelievable.
