1-Year Anniversary of Homecoming

One year ago today, we brought our daughter home after 19 days in the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit.  I wrote about it here.

Today, she is the smiliest, happiest, silliest, giggliest, sweetest little chunk you can imagine.  She loves to eat, sleep, and cuddle.  In fact, picture the perfect baby, and you'll have Lucy.  At her one-year, she came in at the 73rd%ile for weight and 93rd%ile for height for babies born on time.

I am so beyond grateful to God for His provision.  When I think about how fearful I was back in Lucy's first days, I wish so desperately that I could have shown my then-self this post with these pictures.  But on the other hand, I learned so much from the experience about trust, faith, and letting go, that I don't know if I can bring myself to regret it.

So happy 1-year-anniversary of your homecoming, Lucy Jean!
