One Year HeartiversaryIt’s hard to believe it’s been one year since Eleanor’s open heart surgery. She is letting her heart shine, and growing up to be such a kind soul. She loves to give hugs, kisses, and share her love of life with anyone she meets. She adores her little sister, and always kisses her, tells her “okay Lucy,” when she’s crying, and gives her lots of hugs. Lucy loves her right back, giving her sweet smiles. It’s amazing to see the bond that they already have. Our party to celebrate Lucy’s arrival and Eleanor’s Heartiversary was a blast. We all enjoyed music from Gemini, special times spent with all of her friends, family and people who love her, and even a bounce house and swim in the pool.

Before she was born, I was so afraid that there wouldn’t be enough love in my heart for both girls, that I would fall short, that I would be doing them a disservice. My fears kept me up at night, wondering how I would manage to spread my love around or come up with more than I already have. Lucy took care of that for me. She healed my soul. She made the most difficult moments of my life fade and replaced them with warmth, energy and love. The joy I feel for her can’t be explained. A second child has truly brought MORE love into my life, which I couldn’t have ever imagined possible. As a family, we are complete. We are so grateful, and it’s amazing watching Lucy grow and move through the stages of typical infant development. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the “typical” experience with Eleanor, so we are enjoying a new outlook with Lucy...
*At 8 Weeks old, Lucy has grown a huge personality! She:
