You were due on the anniversary of my miscarriage. I was told you probably had Spina Bifida, that you'd be paralyzed and that I should prepare myself for anencephaly. We waited 23 days to see a genetic counselor. We waited 23 days for a diagnostic ultrasound. There was a mass on my placenta that we needed to hope would not become vascular and cause you to go into cardiac arrest. I spent 3 days in neuro ICU after pregnancy hormones triggered a migraine so severe that they thought I had a stroke. 3 CT scans and one MRI. Topped off with a Pitocin induction and an epidural that did not work.
All of that bad news meant nothing.
You are so smart. And seriously, so funny. You have a voice and you don't let people forget it. The three of us are wrapped around your finger and we don't even mind. We miss you when you're sleeping. You are an incredibly special little girl and you have been from the start.
Happy 1st Birthday, baby. Mama loves you.
