Wow, this week came and went so quickly I just realized that I hadn't posted her about her being a year old! The past year has truly been the most precious and special time of my life. While it is has gone by lightening fast, it has been a year full of many blessings. Lyla has brought something to my life that I could have never imagined and now that I have it, I can't imagine my life without it. I guess only a parent can really understand what I am saying, but what a true blessing having a child is. I could never ask or hope for more than what God has given me with Lyla. She fills my heart with happiness every single day and I am pretty sure that goes for her daddy as well. I have never seen two peoples' face light up the way theirs do when they see each other. It is such a precious moment and an honor to be able to witness. They will never know how sweet the two of them are together.
I honestly can not believe it has been a year since I went through 24 hours of labor and gave birth. In some ways it seems like an eternity ago, but in others, just yesterday. I can only hope and pray that the rest of my life is blessed half as much as my first 30 years have been. Honestly, a person couldn't ask for much more. I am so proud to be her mommy!
Oh gosh, Melissa, this made me cry! It's amazing to think that one year ago we were meeting our babies for the first time, when now it doesn't seem possible that I ever existed in a world where Douglas wasn't born yet. It is such a blessing and a miracle that we have been given. Thank you for sharing!
