One

After I had my first 3 kids really close together, I knew it was time for a little break. Even though it took a few years to even consider having another one, I always knew there would be another one. We started debating if we should try for another one almost two years ago. We decided we would go for it and try, but a week later I kind of panicked and thought that maybe we should wait just a little bit longer. Well, too late. I found out a few weeks after that, that I was indeed pregnant! I'm not going to lie, the pregnancy was pretty much awful throughout the whole thing. It was definitely way worse then my other three pregnancies and took a lot out of me.

But when I held our beautiful baby girl...our beautiful Hayley Kim, I knew that the last 9 months were worth it. She felt right. She fit.

And now, my precious little bean is 1 years old! I can't believe it, and hate how much the time has just flown by. She is adored by all of us, and is growing into such a fun, beautiful, and sweet little girl. She is a smarty pants, and catches on to things quickly. She loves to play with her siblings, loves being outside, and still loves cuddling with Mommy and Daddy. She loves to laugh, loves to dance and sing, and loves going up and down the stairs all by herself. She loves being in the water, and just goes and goes and goes. We absolutely love her like crazy and can't wait to see what toddlerhood brings for this little one (or can we?).

Happy Birthday Hayley Bean! We sure love ya.
