Such Is Life;

Life is... Okay. I'm hanging in there. Thanks for asking :)

Newborn sleeper that was way too big for her the day she came home versus a year old today. Excuse me as my heart breaks 😭😭😭

One year ago today, my daughter was delivered via csection at 3:18pm after 45 hours of a long, long hard labor. I didn't see her for the first two hours of her life but the moment they put her in my arms, I cried. This past year has been, by far, the absolute hardest year I've ever experienced. From struggling to make ends meet with working, spending time with her, still keeping a social life and being a single mom most of the year. But I wouldn't change a thing. I watched my sweet, little 6lb 6oz baby grow into a feisty, 19lb toddler. I got to witness her first smile and laugh, watch her roll over at 4 months, sit up by herself by 5 months, crawl by 6 months, stand by herself at 7 months, and walk by 9.5 months. I got to watch a tiny human made of half of me develop into a beautiful little girl with a heavy attitude and the sweetest smile. She knows who "mama" and "dada" are, she can say "hi, hey, hello, bye, baba, what's that, who's that, dog" and a few other things as well! I love you so much, Taegan. I'm so glad you're my daughter. Happy first birthday, my sweet girl.

Time sure does fly! I can't believe she's almost one!

You need to talk to her. Explain to her you don't want things the way they are. You want to make things work and be there for your child. I don't know whether or not she will accept your apology and take you back, but the best thing you can do for now is apologize and PROVE to her you want to make things work.

Taegan's first snow!

Short and bright red. 🌹

Yesterday was good :)

Taegan learned a new phrase! "What's that?" :)

Thank you.. I appreciate it.

Anyone who knows me knows I HATE my forehead. I think it's big and square and just weird so I keep it covered and also cut it off in all my pictures. I also don't much like my smile, it's crooked and my retainer is crooked too. And I also hate my side facial profile, my nose is huge and my chin is sunk in due to my overbite. I'm trying to accept these things I don't like though.
