Lyndsey Turns One!

This has been the most amazing year of my life. Lyndsey was born June 8th, 2006 at 6:36 in the morning. I just so happened to wake up on her birthday at that exact time and I was flooded with emotion thinking about how my life completely changed just 1 year earlier. I still remember asking the nurses to open the blinds to my room so that I could watch the sun rise as my little girl made her entrance into the world.

After talking to most moms, the first birthday is bittersweet. You know your baby isn't that little newborn that they once were yet there are so many more exciting milestones to look forward to. I have enjoyed being able to witness the development of this little life that once grew in my body for nine months. I never thought I would survive 6 weeks of breastfeeding let alone an entire year.

Having Lyndsey has brought me closer to my family too. I have traveled more in the past year to see everyone than I have in the past 5 years! It's been wonderful. Having a support system has been a true blessing. Thank you to everyone that has been apart of this journey with me. I love being a mother! Here are a few pictures from her party.
