Today is a very special day around our house. Our little Willow Rose is turning ONE. Gillian and Ava woke up earlier than normal so they could go into Willow's room and sing Happy Birthday to her. She was all smiles as they sang to her.
I can't believe how fast this year has gone, I have spent some time this morning reflecting on this day a year ago. A year ago today, the good guys at Sears came and cleaned our carpets- last thing on my to do list before my c-section that Friday. Also, got Ava ready and off to kindergarten for the afternoon and then I decided to take a nap in hopes that when I got up I would feel much better; little to my surprise things were about to get very crazy around here. I went into labor just fifteen minutes before it was time to pick the girls up from school! I quickly called a friend to pick them up and Chad and I were on our way to the hospital and at 6:15p.m. Willow Rose entered our lives. She came into this world and she was not what we expected but as I have said over and over she is far better than we could have ever imagined. That cold evening last March as my family and I held hands around my hospital bed crying and praying I could not have fathomed the amazing year we have had with her. I prayed for nine months that I would have a healthy and happy baby and God heard my prayers and he gave me a healthy, happy baby and he even made her with an extra chromosome. She brings great joy to us and we are so thankful for her. This year has been about change, hope, love, patience, understanding, and pure happiness. Happy Birthday to Willow Rose, she radiates all that is pure and all that is good. We love you.
