First birthday is almost here. The above time is when I was about to push. She was born at 9:22 PM. It’s not quite there yet, but we knew her arrival was close. The anticipation was exciting, but the end of a pregnancy and closeness that we’ll never experience again was also saddening. Which, is kind how I feel now. Mixed. She’ll never be a newborn again, we’ll never go through this past year again, but it’s exciting to think of what the future holds for her as she is growing.

My clock is stuck at 9:13 for the next 2 days. And then, she’ll be one.
