ONE year ago today!

How can it be? One year ago today my life changed in a way I never could have imagined & I really can't even describe. We welcomed Flynne Anabelle into our lives at 5:52pm weighing in at 6lbs13oz. She was a tiny peanut ready to meet the world.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. I woke up at 6:30am thinking something was going on, my sweet husband told me to take a shower & he was sure I'd feel better after that! (He had told me since Monday of that week that he was going to sleep in Saturday morning!) So, I did take a shower & it only got worse. We drove to Wooster on a snowy morning & got checked into the hospital. My husband and I spent the day sort of "waiting" with no visitors. We finally welcomed the best gift of all later that evening!

It's crazy for me to think that it's really already been ONE year. I swear a year has never gone this fast in my life before. Flynne went from being so helpless & dependent on me to becoming more independent each day. She has a little bit of her mommy in her & I can already see the stubbornness & will to do it on her own, in her eyes. She's inquisitive & explores everything. She's hilarious & makes the funniest faces I've ever seen. She likes to cuddle & gives the best kisses. She is my daughter, my first born & a best friend. I don't know what I'd do without her. She brings so much joy & love into our lives each & every day. I hope she grows up knowing just how special & loved she is! I can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays & milestones with Flynne Anabelle!
