Three years ago I was sitting in a hospital room, holding my new little girl in my arms. So tiny, so new. Not only has she changed so much in 3 short years, but so have I. It’s amazing the changes that occur when you become a mother. You suddenly have someone you have to protect, to know and understand better than yourself, but who can’t answer your questions. I’d like to say it was easier now that she can answer back, but it’s not at all.
6lbs 4oz, 19 inches
6 hours of hard, pitocin induced labor without pain meds
20 minutes of pushing
Just shy of Adia’s first birthday, we discovered her problem with gluten. I was then thrown into the world of gluten free baking. Her first birthday cupcakes left a lot to be desired. There’s a reason I don’t like gluten free mixes.
By the time Adia turned 2, we knew we were expecting twin girls. Adia was excited to have sisters, but didn’t quite know what to expect.
Between that birthday and this one, she’s changed so much. She’s entered her “why?” stage and can handle abstract thinking. I love hearing her tell stories. Her imagination is HUGE.
I think what surprises me the most is how Adia can always make me laugh. She’s got the greatest sense of humor and the kindest soul. She’s sweet to her sisters, she tries to help and I can’t wait to see what the next year brings for us.
