I can't believe it. One year ago today, my baby girl joined the world. I am sad and happy all at the same time. I hate that I have to admit that she is very much a toddler and not a baby. I am also so proud of her. My oh my the things she has done in a year. It's unbelievable.
We spent the day as a family and it was wonderful. We started by heading to Children's Hospital Boston to have her cast removed and get a splint made in Occupational Therapy. It was exciting. She now has 10 fingers like all the other kids and she has already started putting those two fully functioning hands to work destroying the house :)
We gave her a cupcake to dive into after we sang happy birthday and blew out the candle. It was a joyful moment. My heart is so full it could burst and at the same time I feel like there is so much more room to love. I feel accomplished. Ben and I made it. This isn't just a birthday, but an anniversary of the day we became parents. There have been great days and awful days. In the end everything was worth it. We all made it and we are happy with our beautiful family. It makes me hopeful for our future and excited to see where our life will go.
Here are a couple of photos of our day!

I felt like Meredith's first birthday was mostly a day to be proud that we made it. It's a hard, hard year. You and Ben made it!
