On this, the day before the first anniversary of my baby's birth, I have a lot of blog posts I want to write, but no time to do it! I want to write up my normal developmental update, a letter *to* her, a post about my year of nursing, and a post about where *I* am a year later.
I will say here, though, that I was just looking at my phone and saw a picture in there from one year ago today. One blessing of having a scheduled C-section, assuming everything goes according to plan, is that on July 28, 2009 I knew I would be having my baby the next day. I knew it was my last day of work (yes, I worked up through the day before I gave birth). I knew it was my last day of having this baby inside my belly, going with me everywhere, quiet, kicking. I knew it was my last day of having a baby bump. So I took a picture. It's from my vantage point--what I saw every day. It's my bo.obs and then the bump. No feet, of course (I haven't seen them on a regular basis since puberty). Just boo.bs and bump. And I have to admit, I miss it (the bump, I mean...the boo.bs are the same as they were--pre-pregnancy, pregnant, and nursing). But I'm so very glad I had the presence of mind to take that picture to remember where I was one year ago today.

*I* can't believe she's a year old, so I know you must be in complete and utter disbelief!
I have a picture from the day before Will was born, too, and I still love it. The last day before I met him. I can't even remember what it was like before either of them were here. I'm sure you feel the same way. :)
Have a wonderful night. I remember how excited *I* was a year ago today. The feelings R. and I shared the night before your scheduled C-Section.
It's been a ride! And, you're amazing.
Aw I can't believe it's been a year!
