Honey+2 B's: So around this time, two years ago...

Last Monday was Ariana's 2nd birthday and believe it or not, I didn't cry every time I thought about her getting older. We had a tiny Bday party, with Daddy, Mami and the Bday girl. We're having a bigger party with a few friends on Sunday and I am very excited because I love having parties and people over!

Last year on Ariana's 1st birthday, Alan and I kept thinking about what we went through the year before, while I was in labor, when I started pushing and when we held her for the 1st time. We did this again this year, I love thinking about the day Ariana was born, I love to remember how that day felt, how exciting it was and how little and new she was.

I will try to make this a little tradition for her birthday, to remember what an amazing experience it was and how happy we were to have her... and then when she's a teenager and starts giving me a hard time, I'll let her know about the 13 hours of labor, the painful contractions that came every 5 seconds and the 3 loooong hours of pushing that she put me through!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Arianita! It was all worth it!!!
