One year ago today....
I listened to Desperate Housewives and ate popsicles;
Tonight I gave you an empty ice cream cone and listened to you crunch it like a little mouse.
I saw my feet for the first time in 9 months;
Tonight I put new shoes on you.
Your father secretly fed me chocolate chip granola bars when the nurse left the room;
Tonight, he was secretly feeding you Dairy Queen when I wasn't looking.
I was so sore I couldn't walk;
Tonight, I chased you around the driveway.
I left the house with only my purse and a book;
Tonight I carried more gear than a Himalayan sherpa guide.
You cried as they lifted you out of me.
Tonight, I cried as I watched my baby-turned-little girl sleep.
Happy First Birthday, my dear Piper, Happy Birthday to you.
