29

Today...well, technically yesterday...I turned 29. This past year has not been an easy one, and I am not sad to leave it behind. But I will always remember it as the year that brought me my most precious gift: those two beautiful pink lines, the feeling of a tiny feet dancing underneath my skin, and the knowledge that my little baby was a spirit baby no longer but truly here on this earth with me. I look forward to the last year of my twenties with a clean and open heart. Sometimes when I wake up with bad anxiety, which I am unfortunately prone to, I say a mantra in my head "Good things will happen today." I say it over and over until I am ready to get up and face the day. That is my motto for this year: Good things will happen. How can they not? This is the year I will become a mother.
