Eleven Months Ago Today

Eleven months ago today we welcomed our precious angel into this world. You know, the whole time I was expecting Allie I heard things like, you can never prepare yourself for lack of sleep, and you can never prepare yourself for how hard being a mom is. While all of that is true, the thing I was totally unprepared for was how much I would love this little bundle. I could have never prepared myself for the love that would fill my heart the instant I heard her cry, the moment I laid my eyes on her, and the very first time that I held her to me and realized that she was mine. As I look back over the past eleven months, I cannot believe how much Allie has grown and how much has changed, and how much I love her more and more every day. Thank you God for our precious little Allie Bug!
