Happy 1st Birthday, Naomi!

Sometimes I feel like I am missing out on certain single adult adventures. Then, I look over and see the most beautiful sweet amazing baby girl and I realize that is not true. I am definitely not missing out.

Naomi's first birthday is today. I sometimes can't really believe it. It definitely doesn't feel like it has been a year already. I would be lying if I said it was easy. It was quite a challenge and I suspect that it will only get more challenging.

I know I didn't get to post as much as I hoped. Between her and school I sometimes wonder when I had time to breathe. I have developed friendships and built on my faith this past year. I have seen my family face loss and challenges as well as share hopes and joys.

I have been so blessed during this last year and I know I would not have been able to make it without this amazing support system. I was asked by her daycare provider, who is great, who helped raise her. I listed off a lot of people. I used to not believe that it takes a village to raise a child but I feel that I have been persuaded to think different. Naomi is a great spirit on her own, however, I am most certain that she is only more so because of that amount of love that she has received. She is so happy and bright. She has her moments don't get me wrong but whenever I feel sad I just look at her and she makes me smile.

I remember I was worried about postpartum depression because of the depression I felt while pregnant. However, that was not such the case, she if anything, helped my depression. My natural remedy. I just know that she will continue to bring joy and happiness to me and everyone around. I don't know how I ended up so blessed but God obviously knows what he is doing.






So Happy Birthday, my sweet baby girl. May you forever keep your faith and spirit, and that you will continue to share your joy and happiness. You are my saving angel sent from God and I never will feel like I was missing out again.
