I cant believe my little girl is one year old tomorrow. It is so strange to think about how this time last year I was hopped up on Magnesium and Morphine just hoping that I could hold out until at least 32 weeks to have DD, which of course didn't happen as I was told I had to deliver DD 3 hours from now last year due to severe Pre-e.
Today my DD is doing amazing and is crawling all over the place and loves playing with(ie. chasing) our kitties and puppy! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful little girl. I am looking forward to having a slow, boring November with my family as opposed to the NICU last year. We have come a long way in the past year.
Re: DD is one tomorrow!
Congrats on DD's birthday!
My DS's 1st birthday was so bitter sweet. The memories of the trauma of birth, NICU, etc, were so very hard, but it was also so incredibly amazing to see how far he'd come. With the advice of my counselor, I tried to just let myself feel whatever I felt in the moment, whether it was happiness, anger, sadness, etc... Definitely an emotional rollercoaster but all in all a good one - as DS was here with us to celebrate.
So glad to hear how well your DD is doing!
