5. Tell us about a birthday you recently celebrated.
When I had Maile I felt like the world did not properly prepare me for how painful labor was and also how difficult it is to adjust to having a baby at home even when that baby was planned for and you have a whole nursery waiting for her. I could not believe they were just going to let me walk out of the hospital with that tiny, vulnerable little being and Pat and I were going to be responsible for her health and safety forevermore. What had we done!?!
Of course I was absolutely smitten with her. The world did not properly preare me for how utterly unconditionally I could love a child. Surely there had never been a lovelier baby. Her little dark lashes and tiny fingers were perfection. She was darling and sweet, sensitive and playful, goofy and smart.
And now my beautiful little chunky baby has turned 20! I miss that little girl but I sure love the young lady she’s become. The world did not properly prepare me for how fast raising her would go by. I would do it all over again in an instant.
