Thread: Our February Blessing

Amylia's bday is one week tomorrow-where did the time go? This time last year, I was anxiously awaiting her arrival (very impatiently, I will admit) and now she's walking, still a bit wobbly and she's starting to test her limits. A two year in training-OH NO!!!!

Amylia turned one on Sunday. I thought her first birthday party would be fun and full of great memories. Who knew it would be so stressful? We arrived late for the party, as we had to pick up some balloons we ordered. My mom, bless her heart, loves to nit pick every little thing I do with Amylia as if Im raising her wrong or doing something wrong. Then to top it off, she fell out of her booster seat while playing with her balloon. I must have looked like the worst mother of the year. I finally had to take her and walk out of the restaurant because she wouldnt stop crying. On the good side, I think, she really enjoyed her cake and she got lots of cool presents and she smiled lots for pictures. I just hope I dont have to explain the fact that her party wasnt as great as I had hoped but she made it worthwhile for me. Im so proud of her. I cant believe its been year. We brought her home year ago yesterday. Scary, a year ago today I was diagnosed PPD. I hope not to have to endure that again with the next one. I think this will be my last post her. Im going to try to move this over to the baby boards or maybe just continue it on my computer. Im going to start a TTC journal soon.
