Dear Lexi,
Oh my sweet little girl, it was only a year ago that we finally got to meet face to face. It seems like it was just yesterday.
Even though your dad and I didn't plan on having kids just yet, you were the best surprise we could have gotten. Just a few months before we found out I was pregnant my doctor told me i had PCOS and we would have a hard time conceiving. Luckily to our surprise just a few months later we found out about you, and couldn't have been happier.
You were due Feb 21st, but you had many different plans. Jan 11th 2011 you tried to come early. Our doctor said you were not allowed to come yet, so I was put on bed rest. That was probably the hardest part of the whole pregnancy, not being allowed to do anything for myself, but it was all worth it for you. The funny part was once you were "allowed" to come you didn't want to.
February 28th I finally went into labour. After 22 hours of labour you were born at 3:09am on March 1st. That was the most amazing moment in my life. The doctors laid you on my chest and the world stopped turning for that one moment. Everything was right. You were perfect. You daddy and I couldn't have been happier. We had a healthy little girl.
The next year had many ups and downs, but it was all worth it. We dealt with the loss of my job, the loss of your grandpere, feeding issues with you, and allergies, but you were always such a troopers, and ready to take on anything.
Now you are such a happy and loving little girl. You have no problem going out on your own and exploring the world as long as your daddy and I are close by. You are social butterfly and I love seeing you explore the world around you.
Lexi you are such an amazing gift, and I wouldn't change anything that has happened over the last year.
I look forward to watching you grow, and seeing your beautiful, goofy smile every day.
I love you more then words can say.
Mommy.
