Exactly one year ago today I had a huge meltdown. It’s the day before my birthday and last year I was depressed that life wasn’t going the way I had planned. At the time, my husband and I had been TTC for almost two years and weren’t having any success. The thought of turning 26 and not having had a baby yet, was making me panic. Deep down I knew I was being ridiculous. I was only turning 26, but with no success conceiving, all I could see were my years ticking by.

Fast forward to today.... At this exact moment I am sitting in bed with my nine day old daughter asleep right next to me. 26 started out scary and sad, but it is ending on a high. I’ve got this beautiful little girl holding my finger reminding me that just because things don’t happen when or how I want them too, doesn’t mean they won’t happen. I just need to have faith.

Dear baby girl, you were worth the wait. I love you.
