A year ago today...

Today is Hayden's birthday! It was so strange last night to remember that one year ago I was going into labor. It has been such a fun year. And very hard, but we all learned a lot. I just can't imagine my life without my little Hayden. In fact, I can't really remember it. This is really a bittersweet day. I keep feeling like I'm on the verge of tears because my baby is growing up, but I'm so relieved that I was able to keep him alive this long, and that I actually enjoyed the last year. That sounds horrible, but as a mother you worry so much about everything! The party is tomorrow night, so be on the lookout for monkey party pictures soon.
