Baby Girl Poth

The past couple of weeks have been eventful at Wren's daycare. She celebrated Valentines Day and Mardis Gras in the infant room, and as of today, she is officially in the toddler room! I dropped her off with her new teacher Ms. Olga this morning and expected her to cry since she was so attached to her old teacher. Not one bit! Wren hit the ground running with her new activities and friends. I feel assured Wren is happy and safe leaving her at our daycare, and it makes the whole working mom thing a lot easier. <3 <3 Bye Bye Buggy with the infants - her last week with her infant friends!

We did it. We've kept Wren alive and reasonably well for an entire year! We celebrated our little bird's first birthday last Saturday with an early "bird" breakfast and cake along with both sets of grandparents and Mark and Jordan. Wren was intrigued by her birthday cake, but didn't know what to do with it until Papa dipped his finger in and introduced her to the joy of sweets. Wren got lots of fun presents, including a cash register from Zsa Zsa, cool clothes from Nordstrom from Babcia and "AB to Jay-Z" from Aunt Poppy! Afterwards, I had to work an event at UT Dallas, so the whole family came. Wren watched her first basketball game and was mesmerized! She was still napping when they brought her into the stands, so when she woke up and opened her eyes, she was surrounded by crowds of people and the excitement of a fast-paced basketball game in front of her. With my boss, Dr. Calvin Jamison ...

One year ago today, Cam and I were having a fancy dinner at The Charles enjoying our last night as a family of two. I remember Cam ordered this delicious Iberico pork, and I had some less memorable fish. I slowly savored my one glass of wine that I had saved for this night that week. My mom was eagerly calling me about what the "plan" was tomorrow. We would go to bed that night knowing that our lives would change dramatically the next day at noon when our daughter Wren was scheduled to arrive. This has been both the quickest and longest year of my life. What started as an overwhelming and emotionally draining first few months due to Wren's challenges with MSPI and reflux has evolved into an indescribably rewarding relationship with our tiny human. We are so lucky to have this little birdie in our lives. Riding the Bye Bye Buggy at daycare Happy Birthday, Dziadziu!
