One year ago right at this moment, I was at the hospital getting ready to report for my c-section. I was so very excited to finally meet you, bitty man! I thought I hadn’t formed any expectations about you, but you still came as a complete surprise. They lifted you out of me, and I said, “is that my baby?” (no, ma’am, it’s bring your naked baby to work day. Yours will be here soon.)

You took my breath away. You still do. Happy birthday, sweetie!
