Flash back

You had to know that it was coming. With her birthday less than a week away, I had to bust out some old pictures. I have not shared these before because althought it was a wonderful time, it was also a very scary time. I have been thinking how her life started. Not know what was wrong, all these scary dark images kept coming back on her lung x-rays and nobody could realy tell us what was going on..I only had to deal with this for three days..I absolutely cannot imagine how these mothers who have their babies in there for weeks and months do it.Here she is wrapping Daddy around her finger already
Here is Uncle Mike going to visit her
This was the first time Mark got to hold her. She was two days old.
This was supposed to be the first picture. This was what she looked like when we first got to the NICU. The really scary/sad part was she was one of the healthiest babies back there. So say a little prayer for all the babies in the NICU and for their families.

She sure has grown since then! Everyone of us who has a healthy, happy child should be thankful everyday that we have them.

It's so hard to wrap your mind around the fact that those photos were taken just one year ago. In just 365 days, Lydia has grown into a little person with her own personality and quirks. It's truly amazing.

Only more good things to come....

I don't think I knew what you all went through when Lydia was born. Thank goodness everything turned out alright and she is already a year old now!
