My Girl Turns 5!

5 years ago today, I became a mother for the first time.  I remember feeling anxious the night before the induction, the exhaustion I felt after 20hrs of labor that never came and became a c-section.  I remember feeling like I had failed when I heard I needed a c-section; wondering how millions of women deliver the way mother nature intended and I couldn’t.  Fast forward 30 minutes to 9:01pm.  A 6lb 15oz baby girl was born and I was happy. Really Happy.

The past five years have gone by fast, really fast.  I’ve been home raising my kids and I am glad I haven’t missed a moment.  From first steps, to bootie shaking dancing, first words… and so many other things.  I am mostly grateful for having the opportunity to have stayed home; not with one but with two great kids.  Sofia has been such a blast to watch grow.  She is truly a girly girl.  Yes, she is high maintenance and I’m ok with that.  I have truly loved every day of the past 5 years… and I’m looking forward to many many many more.

For my girl… mommy loves you mucho mucho mucho.
