One year ago today God answered a prayer. After many hours of anticipation, Austin and I welcomed our daughter, Hadley Martelle, into our lives at 12:11 p.m. She weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and measured 20 ½ inches long.
Never in a million years could I have imagined what it would feel like to wake up every morning to Hadley's smiling face; to watch her learn and grow. She's almost walking now and every milestone has been nothing but pure joy. As everyone tells me constantly, “She’ll be grown in the blink of an eye!” I try to take that to heart; to slow down and enjoy the moments and cherish every day that we spend together, because each day is a day that I will never get back. I love having Hadley in my life and I love being her mother. All too quickly she will be grown into a beautiful young woman, but for now I have but one request: Time, will you please slow down just a bit?
Happy 1st Birthday, Hadley!
