It is also the anniversary of when I became a mommy. During labor, our midwife kept saying, "You're becoming a mother." At the time, I thought something like, "What a redundant thing to say, I know that!" But she was right, labor prepares us for the true pain of motherhood: worrying over our children, feeling their pain as our own.
So, today I'm celebrating my daughter's birthday, but also my birth as a mother and how thankful I am for that.
The birthday:
1st Birthday:
Two!
And many, many more.
