Tuesday Tea

Today is a special day to me.

One year ago today, we found out we were having a girl.

I just [knew] she was a girl.  I can’t explain how I knew.  I just did.  It’s like I just [knew] I was pregnant without any outward signs or missed period.  Gut feeling?  Instinct?

Lots of folks were sure we were having a boy.  I don’t know why.  That always mystified me.

I wanted a little girl [so bad].  I cried a little when the ultrasound tech told us the gender.  Through my shaky voice and huge grin, I told Stephen, “I told you so.”

And, oh what a year since that day.

It’s almost as if I’ve become a new person.  I mean, I’m still me.  But I’m [more].

Does that make sense?

And our family.

Our little family went from a little black and white picture to a roly poly squishy baby.  And she’s grown [so much] in just nearly eight short months.

There’s much more to say and do, but short-nap baby is awake and I have many crafting-related errands to run today.

I leave you with this.

and I ask you…. when did she become a teenager?
