What a year!

It's so hard to believe that one year ago today I was at North Kansas City hospital visiting my newborn every hour or so to nurse her while she stayed in the NICU. What a terrifying time for Tyler and I and our whole family. Little Miss Ivy was born sick. The worst part is no one knew she was sick for 12 hours and then our worst fear came true. 12 days in NICU getting spinal taps and given antibiotics to fight an infection.

Thank the Lord she was infection free after 12 days and we were able to take her home. Poor Sage not understanding why Mommy couldn't come home and I am so thankful for everyone who came and all the prayers we received. We love you! Who would have thought one year later she would be so big! 1 year old and wearing 2T clothes!

Ivy's first birthday was so much fun. She wasn't into the present opening so much as the cake. She ate most of hers, with Sage's help and then ate Sage's cake right off her plate. Ivy had quite a turnout. She is really the best baby. Always smiling and such a sense of personality and humor already.

Here are a few pics from her year in film.
