We are just one short week away from Lily's first birthday! I have mixed emotions about this. I am so excited that she is growing up and turning one, but I also can't believe it. I remember this time last year anxiously awaiting her arrival. It couldn't have come any sooner! I remember starting my maternity leave a week early from work because I could seriously NOT move anymore. I was so miserable and uncomfortable, and when she came out weighing 9lbs 3ounces I then understood why I felt like I did! The moment I laid eyes on her I instantly forgot all of the misery and discomfort...she was worth it in every way! I think we are all ready for her party. We ordered the cake yesterday and our family room is FILLED with presents for her. I have had all of the decorations for a while now and I can't wait to get them all out and decorate to the hills for my little girl! She really has NO IDEA how spoiled she is. Oh well, she is my little girl and she is turning one! If you watch the early morning news keep your eye out for Lily. I sen her picture in to WOWT Channel Six for their First Birthdays segment. It is supposed to air on Saturday the 12th at 8:35am. If for some reason there is not news on that weekend (not sure why this would happen) then her picture will be on the 6:00am news on Friday the 11th.

Lily is currently in Des Moines with her Daddy for her cousin Miles' baptism tomorrow. I would have loved to have gone, but it is a holiday weekend which means I am working the entire weekend. BOO HOO! I miss her dearly, but Jason sent me a picture of her in her Husker dress...super cute! She is all ready to cheer on the Big Red tonight! GO BIG RED!
