This week, Lucy turns one year old!
Can you believe how quickly time flies? When we found out we were expecting, we were definitely surprised! I remember it like it was yesterday, smashing into Andrew in front of Annapolis Hall, so excited and scared to tell him the news. He said, "This is the proudest day of my life."
We had a perfect pregnancy and a very easy time waiting for Lucy. The calm before the storm!
Seeing her little face in our 4D ultrasound was so surreal - we could see her peach fuzz hair, but we had no idea just how red it would be!
Lucy was born on May 9th at 5:37am. She was 7lbs, 14oz and looked very unimpressed. After 40 hours of labor and a scary emergency surgery, Andrew and I just cried and cried, so relieved that our baby was safe and healthy!
We had so many visitors waiting to meet Lucy! Aunt Suz stole Lucy away immediately and has yet to unwrap herself from Lucy's finger!
Dr. Haidar, our OBGYN, whose wonderful care delivered our sweet girl to us safely and carefully.
Lucy's "You can't be serious" face.
Lucy, Mama and Daddy at home - 1.5 weeks old.
We fell in love with Lucy from the start, and I think we'll always be able to find one more thing we love about her.
There have been a few tears, but Lucy has brightened our life more than words can ever say.
She's the joy of our life and the love in our hearts, and we're so proud and happy to say "Happy Birthday" to our sweet Anna Lucille. Parenthood has bonded Andrew and I together in a very fun and different way, and Lucy is the best little friend two parents could have. We can't wait to see what year number 2 brings! We love you, Lucy!

What a sweet post! I was actually thinking about Lucy on my way to work this morning and realized that I feel like she's been around forever. I guess that's the feeling of not remembering what it was like before her? But I felt like your baby shower was years and years ago. I guess Lucy's first year was also a pretty busy year for me. I can't wait to see you guys Saturday! :o)

This blog entry is absolutely wonderful. What a treat to look back over Lucy's first year. She is just such a darling, sweet baby, soon to be one-year-old. We would love to be there to celebrate with her and with everyone else. Have fun!!
