Happy Birthday Sweet

Oh, just posting that picture right now is making me tear up. Where oh where has the time gone?

My baby turns two tomorrow. It’s funny because in our house we still call her “the baby” even though she is really not a baby anymore!

When we were at my doctor’s appointment at 36 weeks and confirmed the baby was breech, we went ahead and scheduled the c-section because the position she was in (footling) meant there was little to no chance of moving her.
