DSC_0021Three years ago today, I became a mother for the very first time.

Three years ago today, I was terrified and excited and really hungry.

Three years ago today, I had no idea that I would be able to love another human being as much as love Maddie.

Three years ago today, I had the most painful experience of my entire life.

Three years ago today, I was changed irrevocably.

Three years ago today, I had never been pooped on.

Three years ago today, I had never been barfed on.

Three years ago today, I had no idea how much my patience would be tested.

Three years ago today, I had no idea that the tiny baby in my arms would one day make me laugh and cry and scream and dance.

Three years ago today, I met the girl who would become my favorite girl in the whole, wide world.

Three years ago today, my gorgeous, glorious, crazy Madeleine was born.

Happy birthday, Maddie. I love you so much and I’m so glad you chose me to be your mama.
