Happy Birthday!

It is so hard to believe that our little ladybug is one year old tomorrow! This week has been incredibly hard for me. I've found myself constantly looking back at the year and I continue to be amazed at how much she's grown and how quickly it has gone by. As I sit here writing this I'm fighting back tears! All day I've been re-living the "labor day" - from first contractions, to driving to the hospital, and by now (8:30 PM) I was busy laboring away and most likely considering the epidural that I was absolutely sure I could do without! We'll be fast asleep tonight (I hope!) at the exact minute she was lifted into this world and we met for the first time. Although those first few days left us unsure as to what the future would hold, at the end of this first year we are thrilled with what an incredibly smart, funny, adorable little person we have on our hands. Happy Birthday Caroline! We love you so much!
