Happy First Birthday Maya!!!!

My baby is one year old today! Happy birthday Maya!!!!

I can't believe a year has gone by and she is one year old. ONE. What a cool age. A clean slate. An entire future ahead of her to do whatever she wants. Amazing.

It's been a year filled with life changes-- from experiencing childbirth which for a while didn't think was ever going to happen, to watching my baby stand and clap her hands and wiggle her tushy. It's been a year filled with getting to REALLY know my husband and having many arguments and fights while we spent many a night not sleeping, to realizing this is my family now. MY family. I am building my family and we have ups and downs and we get through it. It's been a year filled with breastfeeding and stressing out about my milk supply to giving Maya her first piece of cheese and watching her chew with her big beautiful teeth. It's been a year of watching my body go through drastic changes from having a vaginal delivery to recovering from those stitches down there, to watching my boobs get full of milk, to having a baby use my boob for nourishment, to finally having sex again, and now, now... having another baby in my belly and going through the same pregnancy symptoms again. Amazing.

I will always embrace my little Maya for who she is and for who she will become. She is SO loved unconditionally. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY beautiful baby girl!!! We love you.
