It's been a year

It's been a whole year since I had my little baby girl and I can't believe it. Actually she isn't so little anymore-- 26 lbs and 3 feet tall! She looks like most 3 year-olds. And can walk, talk and play just like they do. She is still so young though, and sometimes I can see how frustrated she gets when her little body won't do what her mind wants her to do (like backing up the push toy to get out of a corner).
Also, I have been reflecting on the last year with love. I have done a lot of healing (it was a tramatic birth for both of us), but I still do not physically feel "myself" yet. That is a new challenge for me--"woman, heal thyself."
Most of all I can't believe how fast the time flies by, and I know it will only move faster now that she is so mobile and eager to explore this new world of hers. I guess I can only be thankful that I am here to guide her and bear witness to all the extrodinary things she will see and do. It actually brings tears to my eyes to think of how fast everything happens.
In my arms, she will always be my baby girl.

Ah, the joys of childbirth. (Coming from a man who has never, and will never know what that's like)
Ah, yes Obi. You will never know what it is to deliver the child yourself, but as a future father, you can be sure that the “little one” in your future will also bless your life and make you so complete, that you won't be able to hold back the flow (of tears that is). My hubby still gets a bit teary when it comes to thinking of how fast she's growing and how much joy she brings to both of us.
