Tomorrow is June 19th. Lucy’s due date. Of course, she decided to stay inside me for almost another week (and now that we know our daughter one year later…this decision of hers makes perfect sense). But her due date will always hold a special place in my heart. Her due date came after years of loss, of fear, of uncertainty. Her due date was received as this incredible promise of new life and hope.
And one year later, she brims with all the emotions that were first tangled up in that special date given to me by my doctor. Joy. Laughter. Love.
Lucy is almost one year old and decided to start walking this week. She’s tentative but clearly capable. Yesterday, she took a solid eight steps. Of course, this happened in our kitchen. It’s the place Lucy and I spend the most time during the day. I imagine it will stay like that for quite a few years.
We’re in a flurry of activity as we get ready for her birthday party on Sunday. I can’t wait to see my plans come together because right now our house is a small disaster. Thankfully, Lucy doesn’t seem to mind.
oooooh what a little princess!!! how exciting that she’s walking and almost 1!! where did the time gooooo??!
I love the second picture! Always fun to see Lucy’s progress. Walking already? She obviously has loads of exploring she itching to do!
Good luck preparing for the party, I look forward to photos, and whatever else you decide to share with us….
Happy Birthday & what a great achievement, Lucy. 🙂
She is beyond cute
Yay for walking! I don’t care what anyone says, walking makes life easier. Not as easy as when she can communicate more effectively, but definitely easier.
She is so adorable! It’s ridiculous how much babies grow up in just one year 🙂
Yay! Get ready to babyproof everything because she’ll soon be running and climbing too 🙂 Can’t wait to see pictures of the birthday!
Awwhhh that’s so sweet! Happy early birthday to the cutest girl ever! xx
A little princess. Crown and all!
She is SO darling!! And she looks appropriately pleased with her walking efforts. 🙂
Lucy is adorable! Each day is precious and they go so fast! Enjoy each step! But probably soon she’ll be climbing onto counters!
June 19 was also my son’s due date, although he literally had to be forced out on the 26th with a C-section. Dr said they couldn’t wait any longer for a natural birth, given I had already had a previous C-section and that he was huge, and inducing would be risky.
I hope you have a wonderful birthday to celebrate Lucy’s first year… I can’t believe she is already turning one!
All the best to you all! Good fun with the party!
