The past 6 years have taught me a lot about a lot of things.
Like how much love you can have for a person you've never even met.
Like how much you can learn about yourself from watching your child explore the world.
Six years ago I thought I still had two weeks to go. I still didn't have everything I needed and most importantly I didn't think I was ready.
Six years ago I was sitting waiting to meet a doctor for the first time, because my last ultrasound had revealed I had placenta previa.
Six years ago I learned that not only was I going to have my baby early, but I had less than 24 hours to prepare myself for a C-Section, a surgery that had hardly even crossed my mind over the entirety of my pregnancy.
Six years ago I didn't know who she would be, I didn't even know she was a she.
And now...
...she is
smart,
kind,
funny,
curious,
independant,
fierce,
dedicated,
talented,
imaginative,
beautiful,
loving,
sassy,
Six years ago I was staring down potentially the most terrifying, yet beautifully perfect day of my life. I was scared I wouldn't know what I was doing (and I didn't), but I knew I would figure it out. I was nervous to meet her, and find out who she was. I wasn't prepared but I knew I was ready.
Tomorrow she turns 6, and she's more grown up everytime I blink. And just when I think I couldn't love someone more, something happens and my love only grows.
BAM absolutely is 'Sunshine mixed with a little Hurricane', and I wouldn't change a thing about her.
Six feels like it's going to be a big year to me.
I can't wait to see what she does with it.
