Jeff and I were bracing ourselves for a very cranky little girl seeing as she couldn't eat or drink past midnight and she had gone to bed before 7:30 with not a very large supper in her belly.

I got to see her a total of like 2 hours on her birthday and I spent the vast majority of that time crying my eyes out. I know she doesn' ( Read more... )
