I  know I'm like a week late in writing this, but you know what they say it's better late then never. I can't believe that Teagan is a year old! It's so crazy to think about where Kellen and I were a year ago, and what wash happening in our lives. I remember everything! All the good things, the magical things, the scary things, and one of the best things that ever happened to me. I remember being in the hospital and having the worst pain of my life, I felt like the pain was never gonna end. I remember that I could barely walk a step without feeling so much pain. I remember the hospital telling me they couldn't admit me yet and to go walk around for two more hours. I remember thinking in my head "ARE YOU CRAZY!" how the heck was I gonna walk around with this much pain, but somehow I did it. I remember finally getting my epidural and thinking it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I remember waking up and them telling me it was time to push and push and push. I remember pushing for over two hours, which at the time felt more like minutes. I remember finally pushing her out and seeing the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen! I remember them taking her and not letting me touch or see her. I remember seeing them put a bag on her and and feeling my heart in my stomach. I remember asking my mom what was wrong and why I couldn't see her. I remember them saying they were going to take her to NICU. I remember crying and my mom holding me telling me it was gonna be okay. I remember them taking me to surgery and putting me out. I remember waking up in the OR and saying my hips hurt. I remember coming back into the room and being so confused that two hours had gone by since they took her away from me. I remember the next few hours going by and just waiting to hear from anyone about Teagan. I remember that a long time passed before they even let me go see her. I remember the first time I got to touch her and thinking that everything that I went though was for this moment, was for her. I will never forget what Kellen and I want through as a family, it brought us closer knowing we could be strong together. I am thankful everyday that God blessed me with such a wonderful, happy, HEALTHY little girl! See is the light of my life! I would not trade a thing for her and I would go through everything again just so that I could have her! God blessed me with an amazing man who is strong, caring, loving and God as blessed me with a little blessing! I'm so excited to see how Teagan grows and what her personality will be like. This year has flown by and it has been a good and bad learning experience. It been a trip on a life time! So Happy Birthday to my wonderful little girl! Cheers to many wonderful yeas baby!
