Happy Birthday Leia!

To my little Leia.  Today is your first birthday.  I cannot believe it has been a year already.  This time last year I was miserable.  We thought you were breech.  After being admitted to the hospital and almost passing out because the nurses (yes it took more then one) could not get my IV in.   We found out you were in the correct position.  The minute they put the ultrasound to my belly it was obvious.  Secretly I was hoping you were going to come that day, I was so ready.  But you waited... until ten days after your due date.  The morning of the day you were born I was woken at 3 am by a very sick Norah and new you were coming.  After days of contractions I was relieved.  I should have know you would choose to come just as everyone in the house was getting sick.  We headed to the hospital around 6 am and began the long wait for you.  Norah's delivery was so much easier then Jenna's I think I expected the same from you.  After false labor and being told you were breech I should have know better.  While we were waiting for you daddy was getting more and more sick.  At 3:31 pm you finally joined our family.  All 8lbs 7 ozs of you were finally here.  You were beautiful!  Today I cannot imagine life without you.  You are our most determined, you walked the earliest, have displayed your attitude the earliest.  And are keeping me on my toes!  We'd  had a small party for you before daddy headed back to TN.   So today was rather uneventful.  We spent the afternoon at Aunt Kate's.  You had a little bit of ice cream while we sang you happy birthday.  Even though you most likely will not remember today... I want to wish you a very happy birthday!  I cannot wait to see more of who God has created you to be.
