2 more days until Livie turns 1. My little Nimmie. Our tiny baby girl who weighed 5 lbs at birth. I’m working on a big ass post for her on Friday. I’ve spent the last month reflecting on our last year together. I regret that I didn’t do this with Hannah. Again, as I’ve said before, I was much younger and just a different kind of mom back then. I regret it and I wish I could change it. I wish I would have savored every last  second of her being a baby because I look at her now and it amazes me what a little woman she is. I know before I know it, Livie will be 7 and I’ll be wondering where all the time went.

We could not be more blessed as a family. 11 1/2 years together, me and Hubs have. 2 beautiful, healthy children. A house we bought brand new. 2 cars. Good jobs. I think back to when we started. I was only 17. Now look at what we have. Through the haze of all the sleepless nights this year, one fact remains: Livie is truly the gift we had been waiting for, trying for, praying for.
