It's almost overwhelming to look back and see where you were a year ago! A year ago today, my wonderful Mom (Bryce's Mama!) came to help Bryce and I bring Charlotte into this world. A year ago today I woke up not feeling too great, contractions were coming and going, then at about 7pm we decided to go to the hospital. If any of you out there have had children you know that they don't allow you to eat anything when you come in to have a baby so I begged Bryce to stop off at the local cafe to get me a grilled cheese sandwich. My knight in shining armor did so and with a semi-satisfied tummy we were off to Benefis. As of 12:37am Charlotte entered our lives, just one exact hour after I had guessed she would be here. This sweet girl has lit up our lives in ways we could never imagine, from her leaving a trail of binkies where-ever she does, to her overly enthusiastic wave, she is the perfect addition to our little family. The last couple days while i've been working out and running I find that all my thoughts keep spinning back to this time a year ago. A pregnant belly, all the kicks in the ribs, general lack of sleep, and trying to keep up with a two year when you can't fully bend over. Not to mention the fact that Bryce had just had surgery on his arm and was in constant pain and discomfort as well. I have been blessed with small babies and Bryce has always told me that you can barely tell that i'm pregnant. Sarah was never in that category! So from one baby to another....
The week before I had Sarah. Please ignore the wreck that was the house!
The week before I had Charlotte.. as you can tell, much much smaller with the Bug!
A party is on the horizon for this house and I should probably get to cleaning. I am going non conventional for Char's Birthday Cake. The girl loves apples, so Mama is making an apple cake! Can't wait to watch her dig in! More pictures soon!
