Wow.. has it been a year already? I know, I know, everyone tells you how fast it goes but really, this is ridiculous. I cannot believe that a year ago today my sweet baby girl was born. I remember everything like it was yesterday. She was so frustrating… 5 days late! Labor and delivery couldn't have gone better though and there she was… from team green to team pink. She was a beautiful newborn and everything just got better with each month. Now she is such a spunky, smart, happy, funny, pure joy of a little girl. We had such a wonderful birthday party for Miss Sloane. We had a Yo Gabba Gabba theme (it's her favorite after all!) and had tons of friends and even FAMILY! come to celebrate. I am so thankful that Nana Sue and Nana Vicky and PawPaw Jim could come out and be here for her birthday. Everything was perfect. For those of you who know me, know that I'm really NOT domestic. I'm a "semi" homemade kinda gal but I really tried to make Sloane's birthday special. I baked and decorated her smash cake myself (it was Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba). It could have turned out terribly but surprisingly it came out super cute and I'm so happy I could do that for her. I'll always remember it and hopefully she'll enjoy the pictures and video in the future. I also baked cupcakes and cake pops. It literally took me all day.
After cake Sloane opened her presents.. and man, she had presents. It was like Christmas morning in this house! Everyone was so generous. She has so many beautiful new clothes and so many fun new toys. Last gift she opened was from Mommy and Daddy. She got a new back pack for when she gets a little older… inside that back pack was a t-shirt announcing to everyone that this fall, Sloane will be a big sister. Yep, here we go again!!! Brandon and I found out a week before heading to Hawaii that we'd be expecting a little brother or sister for miss Sloane, on or around (most likely around) November 16th. We couldn't be happier.. after all this is a total transition year in the 09 McCraney household. Sloane will be just over 18 months, perfect! We always talked about wanting them close in age. Saw the doctor at the beginning of the week and saw our little jelly bean bouncing away with a nice strong heart beat. And although we're not totally out of the woods, we're hopeful and confident this will be a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!
So as I sit here reflecting on how wonderful the past year has been, I am also so excited for the year to come. We meet with a realtor tomorrow to start the process of getting our house on the market. It's finally really happening. Beyond Blessed!
