Well, it's my little sweetie's first birthday, and I can't help but remember the anticipation, joy, and overwhelming love I experienced just one year ago today. My entire life changed the day Johanna was born. This year has been full of ups and downs, but through it all I've been made stronger. Having Johanna gave me confidence in myself that I never had before. It gave me a sense of greater purpose. Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs in the world, but is also incredibly rewarding. I treasure the cuddles, smiles and kisses. I love her giggles, they are sweet music to my ears.
Her first birthday party is on Sunday afternoon! We'll have TONS of family and friends to celebrate with!
Here are some pictures of her first day with us-pictures of the zoo to come!
Happy birthday, Johanna! And congrats on being a mother (and breastfeeding!) for a whole year now.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read your birth story sometime.
