October Baby

October.

We have entered the birth month of our baby girl.

Over the last eleven months we have seen so many unbelievable changes in her and us.  We came home from the hospital two days after we gave birth and we had absolutely no idea about anything.  All we knew was that immediately we both felt so much love and joy with our little bundle, and, in an instance, we could not at all remember what life was like before she entered our lives, nor did we want to.  We called our pediatrician several times over things that we have since learned don't necessarily need to be called on, but each and every time we were reassured and made it through.  We have been, are, and probably will continue to be overly cautious when it comes to Kate's needs, even if it means foregoing our plans.  (I'm not sure how this will play out if we are lucky enough to add Baby #2 into the family, but it is how we are now.) 

We've watched our little bundle go from eating and sleeping the majority of the day to smiling, laughing, learning, crawling, walking, and talking.  And we know that we are only witnessing the very tip of the iceberg.

Over the last eleven months, we have learned so much about ourselves, our parenting style, our baby, but most of all we have experienced a love so deep that we never even knew existed.  I am grateful, thankful, amazed, and blessed every single day to experience such an incredible reality.

We have entered the birth month of our baby girl.

I know that I continue to talk about how fast the time has gone by but it seriously amazes me every time I look up.

She is our October Baby.  ♥
