Happy Birthday, little miracle

A year ago, I was 36 weeks pregnant. I was high-risk, so I went in for my normal bi-weekly NST. I'd had pre-term labor with 3 of my 4 pregnancy's, so, when the nurse asked if I was aware I was having regular contractions I was sort of, "meh" about it because they always went away. They didn't. And Britta was born later that night.

You all know her story by now, but I promise you that not a single day passes that we don't look at this little girl and know exactly how lucky we are to have her with us. We know we don't deserve this amazing child, but we are so beyond grateful for her. Every. Single. Day.




She's our little miracle. She fought harder than any child should ever have to fight to stay alive, and today, on her first birthday, we'll be celebrating not only the anniversary of her birth, but her spirit and strength.

Thanks for sticking with us the last year. 
We love you all.

Happy 1st Birthday, sweet Britta Colise. :)
