I can't believe that our precious little girl is 1 today. I have reflected quite a bit over the last few days about this time last year and the excitement yet anxiety that I had the few days leading up to her birth.
This time last year I was visiting the MD's office 2 times a week to have fetal monitoring done to ensure that Layla was doing okay. We were told at 37 weeks that Layla's abdominal measurements had not changed from the 32 week measurements and it was probably best to induce and let her grow better "outside the womb". Brent and I were definitely concerned that she wasn't growing like she should and was afraid that I had done something wrong with my diet. I had been so careful about what I ate and my blood sugar numbers, that I was afraid that we had been a bit "too strict".
Needless to say, we had a perfect 6 lb 2 oz GORGEOUS little girl. It was absolute love at first sight. She is still a bit small, only because eating is not a priority with her but she has a spark in her eye and a spring in her step (and yes, she is walking!)
Layla -- mommy and daddy couldn't love you more. You bring so much joy to us and your smile and laugh are electric! We are so blessed to have you!
