1 year ago today, I met my daughter for the first time! She was born on Sept. 23, 2012 at 11:41 PM. I flew out to NC on a red eye flight that night. I landed in NC on Sept. 24, 2012 bright and early and met her a little after noon that day. I met Cambria for the first time when she was a little over 12 hours old. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I think about walking into that hospital room for the first time. Her birth father's mom was in the room at the time, and some of her birth mother's friends were there too. I was so nervous to meet her birth mother and her family and friends. But they were all so nice. I stayed for a while, then left to go pick up Dave from the airport. We went back to the hospital, and we met her birth father. Then we went to our hotel and took a deep breath! "Wow, was this really happening?" I kept thinking that to myself. It was! It was, it was, it was.
I still get teary eyed every time I think of that special time when Cambria was first born. I wonder when that will stop? Maybe I don't want it to.
We had Cambria's birthday party on Sunday. It was so nice. I can't believe it's been a year already. One of the fastest years of my life! Yesterday, on her actual birthday, I got 2 dome cakes- one was Cinderella, and one was Tinkerbell. She LOVED that cake! Tomorrow I'm having our photographer take her 1st birthday pictures.
I am so tired from all of the weekend festivities....I'll upload pictures later from her 1st birthday party.
