You've come a long way baby!


Two years ago today our life got a little bit better.
The world got a little bit brighter with the arrival of beautiful Eva.
For her first birthday, we celebrated making it through the year. What a year it was.
This year, we celebrate Eva. Just her and her wonderfulness.
Giving birth to each of my babies empowered me. I never felt stronger or more primal then when I was pregnant, giving birth or breastfeeding. I marvelled at what my body could do.
But making it through Cuylers first 3 years and then making it through Eva's first year proved to me that my body has nothing to do with being a Mom.
I am proud of my spirit and my soul getting through what we have gotten through. Many families have much more difficult and heartbreaking ordeals. But we took a pretty good hit between Cuylers autism and Eva's hemangioma complications.
And we made it.
And we'll celebrate all of that in May. But today we celebrate our beautiful BabyGirl. What a gift she is to us.
