Happy Birthday Olivia! pt 1

I posted this on Facebook and Instagram yesterday, but thought I should post it here too.

One year ago today was, hands down, the best day of my life. The start of the ultimate adventure. 

Dan and I walked into the hospital so incredibly excited to meet her. We had no clue that every single thing about her would be better than our wildest expectations. No idea how much our lives would change, how much we would enjoy spending time with her, how little we would miss our old life, how quickly the first year would go by, and how greatly and immensely we could love. 

Happy first birthday Olivia Park. You made me a mother. And you are the greatest gift I have ever been given.

    1. She did look like me! I think she's starting to look more and more like her dad though. Happy Birthday Mason!

  3. I always feel like time stands still those first few days with a new little one. It is truly magical (and why I want about a million kids). Chris and I have a pact that where ever we are, we will always celebrate our oldest's birthday because it was also the day we became parents.
