Dear Zoë,

I can’t believe it has been a year! It feels like just yesterday I was waddling around worrying everyday about you! I loved being pregnant. It truly is a miracle. I felt so blessed to have been chosen to be your momma and I made every effort to make sure you were safe and I wasn’t doing anything to harm you. Then I realized my mom ate whatever she wanted and I turned out ok. So I tried to enjoy our pregnancy and take in every kick and thump that came from you. Although you weren’t a very active baby, you were very peaceful, so much that I used to poke you and push on you, just to make sure you were still in there! We had a great schedule. I never missed any sleep because of you and I thank you for that. I didn’t have any complications throughout our pregnancy and I stayed as active as possible…I went to work everyday, but I had A LOT of help at work! I really want to share your birth story so that you will know how it all went down. I just want you to know that it was the most amazing experience to bring you into this world. It was painful, but you are worth every contraction, needle, and stitch!

love,
