We Survived!

It's hard to imagine that in just a few short days, our sweet little Emma will be one. You know what that means? We survived! Matt and I are still married and Emma is alive, healthy and as happy as can be! Like I have said (and every other parent says), this last year has been the most challenging and rewarding year of our lives. Parenting is hard, anyone that says it isn't is lying. But what has made this last year doable is having an amazing husband to go through it all with.

Being parents while still trying to be husband and wife is hard. Really hard. We were tired and we had no idea what the heck we were doing (we still don't). We were devoting every waking moment to this little thing that came into our lives. But would I want to go through this with anyone else? Absolutely not. Matt has been the absolute best partner for me and daddy for Emma. From the moment she was born, he has been incredibly hands on with changing diapers, waking up in the middle of the night with me, playing with her and reading to her. The list goes on.

There is no greater feeling than to see your husband with your child, the two loves of my life. Each day spent with them and as a family has been a true blessing, no matter how chaotic or easy the day has been.

This week we celebrate Emma, but I am secretly celebrating that we survived and that I get to go through this journey with a fantastic husband.
