Birthday Prep

Prepare yourself for an onslaught of birthday posts over the next few days.

We're in full birthday prep mode at our house this week. Today was cupcake day. I made cupcakes to have for Natalie's real birthday tomorrow that also served as practice cupcakes for her big party on Sunday.


One year ago today I emailed Chris over lunch about how excited I was that we had leftover Abuelo's food in the break room at work, and I added on to the email as a side note that I was starting to feel a little bit different but that I still thought it would be a while before we met our baby. Less than 24 hours later Natalie was born. I had even scheduled a meeting with my boss for the next day (Natalie's birthday) because, I told him, I was almost certain I'd be in the office. Maybe 12 hours later Chris was emailing him from the hospital letting him know that actually I wouldn't be in the office that day.

We had a little girl to meet. We had lives that were about to change forever.
