This posting is simply a look back one year ago when my little Paloma was born. Dave and I are very confident this will be our last (in less of course 'someone' else has different plans for us). Although we are very excited for the upcoming stages, it was still a bit sad to look back and see the change that has occurred during the last 12 months. Knowing this was going to be our last, I made unreal expectations about how I wanted everything to be. Needless to say that all of those expectations have been eliminated. Many of you may know the challenging year that we have had with Paloma. It has turned out to be nothing of what I had expected or wanted. But as I look back, I realize that I was being challenged. I was being forced to change my way of thinking and adapt to what life was being thrown at me. It has been hard but rewarding at the same time. I have learned a lot about myself and learned a lot about being a parent.

great fun post!
Challenges are what make life difficult but also what makes is so rewarding! When Polly finally gets feeling better, it will mean so much more to you! You are such a wonderful mom--just keep plugging along! Things will work out just the way they are supposed to :-)
I think the challenging ones end up the sweetest. :)
