The Best Birthday Present Ever!

Yesterday (June 14) was my twentieth birthday and my first birthday as a mother. Most of the day was honestly pretty boring. Hubby got me some Starbucks, and I got twenty dollars from my grandmother. I mostly spent the day napping off and on because Hubby was letting me rest for the day. (He really is the best husband ever!)

I was a little crampy for most of the day and I finally figured out why after I passed a huge clot (I know, TMI) and ruined my favorite pajama shorts. After that my cramps got worse so I spent a lot of my day laying in bed with a heating pad because I could barely walk. Something bad almost always happens on my birthday. I cant remember a single one where I didn't have the flu or a massive toothache. So, this really wasn't much of a surprise.

On to the actual interesting part of the story.

I had just given Rylee a bath and was playing with her on the couch when all of a sudden, she lifted her head, looked over at me and gave me the biggest toothless grin I've ever seen on a baby. Rylee's first smile, and it was all mine for my birthday.

I always knew that when I first saw her smile that it would make my heart melt but I never thought it would make me feel like this. I never could have asked for a more beautiful daughter and I NEVER could have gotten a better present. I am on top of the world right now.
