Happy Birth(ing) Day

To me
I woke up this morning at 2AM and I realized it was my baby girl's birthday. At three AM she turned one.

There she is surrounded by my two midwives and my doula. Right after she came up after the water and was brought to my chest. It was one of the best moments of my life. I can't stop staring at this picture.

I really enjoy re-living her birth.

The day she was born... the moment she was born...
the first thing I said was, "I can't believe it"

I still can't.

I can't believe I had a beautiful birthing experience. My only one out of three births.
I can't believe I have a little girl.
I can't believe we accidentally got pregnant and I am blessed with something I never planned.

I can't believe that that I have had such a joyous happy year with a baby.
I can't believe how amazing big brothers are.
I can't believe how sweet she is.

I am still mystified by all the good that has happened since she was born.
