I have to admit, I have shed a few tears as this day has approached us. Yes, of course I am happy to see Maeva grow & become her own little person, but I cannot believe how fast a year has flown by.
I remember when we brought her home from the hospital, I had to sit in the back seat with her to make she would survive the ride home, she did just fine. I on the other hand being the mess of emotions you are after you have a baby, looked at her & cried knowing that I was in BIG TROUBLE! I knew I would feel extreme joy & extreme sorrow like never before now that I had my own child. I loved her so much & wanted her to stay a baby forever. I didn't want her to grow up and turn into a teenage dirt bag that would hate me.
Over the next few days I cried ever time I thought about her getting any older. After that wore off, I felt extremely overwhelmed by being a new mom & started saying things like, "As soon as she can sit up/crawl/eat solids/walk etc. it'll be easier." I feel like I wished for some other stage than the one she was currently in that I missed out on a lot. I feel really sad about that & have really made a huge effort to enjoy right here & now. I'm sure the next time I blink my eyes she'll be starting Kindergarten. Cliche maybe, but true time goes by too fast. I think we should take a trip to Neverland with Peterpan for a few years.
Happy Birthday Maeva, you are my favorite child.
(Especially when you are sleeping.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEVA!!!
Happy birthday Maeva! I love that last picture, so sweet. :)
This post is beautiful. I can truly relate to how you feel and we haven't even had Max yet. I already stress about him growing up and not being my baby any more. Anyway, Happy birthday Maeva!!
Oh, that Maeva is simple precious! Happy Birthday cute girl! (And I completely understand how you're feeling!)
Happy 1st Birthday Maeva! I also understand how you feel and I still feel that way. We moved into the condo's when the twins were 6 months old and so you will remember when they were babies when you and Ryan moved in and now they are in preschool and will turn 5 in Oct. It goes by so fast and I have loved each moment but wish I could slow time down.
I can't belive she is 1. Time does go by fast but I think it goes by faster after they turn 1. They grow so fast and learn so much in such a short time fram. It's so fun to see. you wili love it.
I hope she had a good birthday! She is such a little doll! Love those eyes!
She is such a sweet baby, I just can't get enough of her!
She is so beautiful. Happy first to her. I wish we could have hung out one more time before we left! She can probably run circles around Bri by now.
