On this Saturday night last year,

this was happening.
My water broke,
my contractions were three minutes apart,
my mom and dad and husband and I were crowded in a small, somewhat scary delivery room,
as we braced ourselves to meet our girl.
Tonight,
I split a piece of pizza with my daughter,
and made two dozen cupcakes,
and constructed my girl’s favorite character out of fondant,
and my mom and dad and husband and I crowded around the CD player, as we danced to Stevie Wonder and Madcon,
passing our daughter around as she kicked her legs and shimmied her shoulders and boogied on down with us to the music.
Last year was contractions and a c-section,
this year was coziness and some ‘honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you’.
So,
what I’m trying to say is,
this year, for the win!

‘Twas the night before Valentine’s Day

and the babe and I are busy picking out her heart day ensemble.

Lola and Zig gave it their stamp of approval.
So, you know,
we’re all good now.
And, while we’re on the subject,
as I was just writing the date,
I realized that today, February 13, 2011 is exactly the 10 year anniversary of a great
milestone
in my own life;
the day I got my braces off.
And yes.
I know.
I was a dental late bloomer of sorts.
Wanna make something of it?
So, not only am I happy that it’s almost the day o’ love,
but I’ll be smiling extra wide this evening,
as I remember my first metal free meal,
on this date,
so many years ago.
I still remember what I ate.
Pizza.
Guess I know what’s on our menu for this evening.
As long as my dogs approve.
