It's My Birthday

Today I turned 39 years old. I woke up this morning thinking about how different my life is from last year. Last year I had a fine birthday, but I was anxious and nervous and on pins and needles waiting to hear something, anything, about my baby. And while I knew it wasn't likely I would get a referral that day, I did end it being disappointed. Fast forward to today when I woke up content. Sure, my life isn't perfect but having Grace has filled so many holes in my life. Last year I spent the evening wishing for my baby. Tonight I spent my evening at a Mexican Restaurant where my baby was moving and grooving to a Mariachi Band. Last I ended my birthday sad and anxious. Tonight I ended it feeding a bottle and singing to this beautiful girl. Oh what a difference a year can make.
