But THIS year. February flew by. I couldn't believe it was March already! And then, suddenly, it was my birthday!
Last year was a difficult birthday because I turned thirty, and it felt like a real milestone in my IF journey. I dreaded it. J made it a special birthday for me, but still, it was difficult. And now? I'm 31 and had a baby with a beautiful smile waking up next to me! Today was...absolutely normal. I did laundry and stayed home all day. And yet, it was the best birthday ever.
My only request? Let me eat my dinner while it's hot! So here's Daddy feeding Abigail her sweet potatoes!
Confession time. I make a mess of feeding her off a spoon. A big mess. Always did- even with my brothers. I couldn't wait until J tried it and made a mess, too. I thought it'd be hilarious. Turns out- he's better than I am. WAY better. Well GUESS who just took charge of feeding someone dinner!
It makes sense anyway, because SOMEONE little and cute whose name begins with an A stares at Daddy the ENTIRE time we eat dinner! She ADORES him! I love it. My two favorite people. Sigh...
Best birthday ever.

Happy birthday! Coincidentally, it's my birthday today as well (wasn't it fun to have a birthday on Fat Tuesday?). I just found your blog last week and love it. What a beautiful story you have! It's amazing how much your daughter and husband look alike in that last picture.
What a great day! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday again, because in my opinion you can't say it too much.

The dinner looks absolutely amazing, soo delicious. You are one talented cook, girl.
And as usual, Abigail is getting cuter by the day! And I know people always say sometime you adopt a child who looks like you, but seriously - she kinda looks like her daddy in this pic!!!

Hey Girl! Did you get a rocking chair? I see a new piece of furniture, so jealous if it is. :) And I have to get that asparagus recipe from you, looks so good!
