Poor Birthday Girl was masquerading as Princess Crankypants today. She's got teeth coming in, and a terribly runny nose with a bit of a cough. Not the happiest camper! The nice thing is that she was willing to snuggle with Mommy a bit more than she usually is.

I never expected to spend my baby girl's first birthday so sad. I keep thinking back to that terrible, wonderful day a year ago, and the scary events leading up to Katie's birth. The fear as we waited at home, trying to get her to move. The trip to Kadlec, when it seemed like Jared couldn't drive fast enough. The awful ultrasound, where we watched a heart beat in an otherwise motionless baby. And to have to sit there for a half an hour, while the tech documented everything that wasn't happening... The serious look Dr. Smith gave us, as he recommended an immediate c-section. And then, an hour later, as that beautiful, perfect, screaming baby girl was given the all-clear and handed over to Daddy...

Not bad, though, to go to the hospital at 1:30 and have a baby two hours later!

And this one's for Jared...
