2016 in Review

It has been one hell of a year. Where do I even begin? A year ago today, from the moment the clock struck midnight in welcome of 2016, I knew it would be one for the books. Cliche but so very true. The most amazing things happened to me last year. I spent the first half of the year growing a human inside of me and the second half getting to know her. She is the most wonderful thing I could have ever imagined and then some. While I am still struggling with accepting the sequence of events leading up to my delivery, my delivery and my post delivery infection; I couldn't have possibly ended up with a more perfect child.
2016 was full of firsts: first breath, first gummy smile, first kiss, first nurse, first giggle, first belly laugh, first babble, first diaper change, first touch, first nap, first week, first month, first holiday, first car ride, first roll, first sit, first look, first cold, first raspberry, first play date, first taste of rice cereal, first 4th of July, first Halloween, first Christmas and first New Years Eve. My heart is full and I can't wait to experience more of her firsts in 2017 and beyond.

Despite all the shit going on in the world and celebrity deaths, 2016 wasn't all that bad.
