We'll look back someday, and I'll look at you and say "and I thought I loved you then": Sweet Darlin

This year time has been on pause. Yes, every moment was lived, every breath was taken, but a sweetness came about. So sweet that time stood still, for an entire year! Than BAM wake up, a year has already come and gone. Scarlett is so very precious in each and every way. This pregnancy was cherished. Each moment I was greatful for. I loved to hear her heart beat, and learn she was growing strong. Having expirenced a loss so recent, I knew what a miracle this was. Sweet little girl, has stolen my heart. I may be creating a monster, but we will see. Scarlett has me wrapped around her finger. Her birth was one of the most beautiful things I have ever been a part of. This little girl, has been was worst sleeper. I use to think I would never have a baby who did not sleep through the night. My awakening came, and I began to realize just how much I loved sleep. Scarlett has always had such a personality. She knows what she likes, and is not afraid to let you know. In her first year she learned to breath, she learned to nurse, she learned to roll over, she learned to scoot, she learned to say mama first, she learned to say dada second, she learned to crawl, and she learned to walk. Wow that is a pretty accomplished first year if I do say so myself.
Scarlett, you are the light of my life. You bring me so much joy. I love your huge eyes, and the way you always squeal. I love that you smile not just with your mouth, but your whole face. The way you breath sounds like darth vador, but I think it is too cute. I love the way you smell. I love that you have curly hair. I love that you look like me. I love that you love me. I needed you to be my girl, and you have been. You are tiny, but love to nurse. You love your sisters... more Syd than Sadie at this point, but you two are getting closer. Sadie is finally learning not to push you over for fun. Your Dad thinks you are pretty great, and is super jealous of the way you love me! As I look back at the last year, I am grateful I took it slow. I may not have document every single thing, but as long as you know you were/are loved is all that mattered. You are so precious, and we are so blessed to have you as a part of our family.
