We didn't have an exciting bday because we're all still sick, but here is a pic in her pretty dress. She actually slept with me the past 2 nights because she felt so miserable and didn't want to be alone. I'm not complaining, it actually felt pretty amazing snuggling up with my bunny as I remembered bringing her into this world. We are having her "party" on Monday so I'll hopefully get some better pics then. OMG I have a 1 year old!!!

I really wanted two kids but after all the losses and then the horribly difficult pregnancy, delivery and recovery...well going through that again scares the crap out of me. It scares my husband too. So we decided this is it. I was so happy to have my one miracle baby, I didn't expect to suddenly feel this way. But part of me feels almost desperately sad.
I've held on to everything too. "Just in case." I know it isn't rational but I can't seem to let go. I hope it will get easier.
Hugs to you mama!
