Lydia's life started at 12:32 pm one year ago today. She was born at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital and was given the best of care. She was born with amniotic fluid in her lungs, so Matthew and I didn't really get to hold and cuddle with her until she was over 24 hours old. Thinking back to those short, few days waiting for her oxygen levels to rise is surreal. It feels as if those days were all a dream, like they never happened in comparison to all that did happen.
Lydia is more than I could have ever imagined. She has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. She has a very determined spirit. She is fierce and strong. She lights up a room with her smile. She is a good eater and sleeper. She can be stubborn and mischievous. She loves to dance. She loves to "put" on clothes, shoes, and jewelry. She loves to chat, especially if she can chat about her "Da". She is friendly; saying "Hi" to everyone that passes by. She is a blessing from up above and I am so completely honored to be chosen as her mother.
