We could have stayed another night. We hadn't slept in days, we were having some significant breastfeeding challenges (to say the least, ugh), and I. was. freaking out. But? The nurses we'd had weren't exactly helping with any of that, so it seemed to make just as much sense to go home as it did to stay.
Today, it is gray and cold and rainy (but not quite sleety!) and the house is full of toys and stickers and tiny Barbie shoes and cardboard and plastic and packaging and two extremely exhausted children.
I will take today over four years ago every single time.
There's so much I could say about the past year here, but you know, it really sucked and was filled with so much worry, ranging from neurotic anxiety to balls-out terror, that I'm really ready to just leave it where it is and look forward to this year, and let Gracie do the talking. This is stolen from Pinterest and my friend Jess.

Oh, so cute and what a great idea. #20 is my favorite. It's amazing how quickly and how slowly these past four years have gone. Who knew then she would be a big sister 2 times over?! Love that sweet girl. :o)
So sweet. She is such a cute birthday girl with her hat on!
I love these questions! I'm totally going to steal this and ask these to Ellie... maybe next year. ;) And I love how excited and proud she looks staring down at her bday cake.
LOVE this. Especially the part where she wants to be a nurse (like Mama).
Lucky you - Z wants to be a horse. :/
love.
