This week is such an exciting week, yet I feel myself being sad at the same time! I cannot believe our baby girl is going to be 1 YEAR OLD on Thursday! I sit here remembering so clearly how I felt exactly 1 year ago today and I was in miserable pain as I was contracting but not dialating any. I remember oh so clearly going to the doctors office (not getting to see my OB) and him telling me...this is just part of it! I was so mad when I left that appointment. I could only sleep sitting straight up on the couch because some little girl was sitting right on my lower back which was where I had all of my labor pains! I sit here thinking...I would do that all over again for her! Tuesday of this week last year I had an appointment with my OB where he decided we would induce on Friday but then he changed his mind and got me an appointment to be induced on Wednesday! I think him and Nick had a discussion because the entire pregnancy Nick kept saying...Tuesday after noon, Wednesday or Saturday afternoon...those are the days you get to go in because I have those off work!
I have so many emotions but they are good emotions. When I say I am sad, I am not really sad, sad, just need time to slow down! We have been away from her for 2 nights and that seems like too many! People say you cant stop your life for your kids but I however disagree. I think you HAVE TO stop your life for your kids! I only get 18 years with her and 1 year is already gone...
This will be a busy week for us! Monday we are relaxing at home together. Tuesday our great friend Angie is coming for a visit because she cant make it to Adi's party. Wednesday Nick is hunting and Aunt Melissa is coming for a visit so I can get some things done without little stinker following me around! Thursday is Adi's actual birthday so we will be making that a special night! Friday decorating and Saturday is Adi's PARTY! WOW!
New things Adi is doing; She IS walking! Not all the time but she can walk from one side of the room to the other so she is on the move! It is just a matter of time before those tough little knees become scrapped up knees! She is off of formula now! It scares me having her off of it too. the formula has the best nutrients of anything and we all know how teeny tiny she is! She loves whole milk which is a good thing. I had it in my head from the beginning that I would not give into the pressures of whole milk and I didn't! :) If she keeps drinking as much milk as she does, the cost of formula is NOTHING! She plays pat-a-cake, dances to "Jump Around", wrinkles up that little nose at everyone, and is really starting to show more personality! She gives hugs and lots and lots of kisses which I take FULL advantage of!
Have I mentioned how much fun we are having with her! I cannot say this enough but I thank God for her every day all day! He has given us this amazing baby and I cant say enough how blessed we are to have her in our lives!
