My Little Princess

Or maybe not so little anymore. In about a week or so my beautiful daughter Luna turns 1. 

Where does the time go? I swear it was yesterday when she was born.

I remember finding out i was pregnant. We'd only been trying for about a month and a half. I woke up super early that morning because i read somewhere it's best to test your "first pee". Excuse the details! I wasn't expecting it to be positive because i'd had so many negative tests before that. Then when it came up positive i about passed out. Complete and utter shock. I ran into our bedroom and started jumping up and down on the bed screaming! I was so excited i went right out and looked at baby clothes. I remember at the time i just knew it was girl. I always had the feeling. Even a year or so before when i bought crib bedding because i was lucky enough to find the one i wanted on clearance. This was before i was even ENGAGED. Talk about crazy. It was the same way when we were picking out names. I had the name Burkley picked out. I'd always loved it. But i couldn't shake this feeling i kept getting for the name Luna. I hadn't even seen it anywhere or heard it before other than on Harry Potter. No she isn't named after that. But i'd only ever heard it on there. Anyway, i kept getting this nagging feeling. The only way to describe it is that i knew her already. We'd met before and had agreed that we'd meet again. No matter how long it took we'd find each other. We were always meant for each other. The same goes for my husband. I know it sounds strange but that's the only way to explain it. So that was that. Her name was Luna. As for the middle name i loved the name Emery. When my husband's cousin's son was born there was a little girl in the room next to her that was born with the name Emery. I loved it! The coolest part was i found out later on at my baby shower that i have a great great grandfather named Emery. Talk about fate! So we decided we'd have a little girl named Luna Emery Fullmer. The pregnancy was definitely not easy at all. From that first pregnancy test to the last moment i got to hold her inside me. But it's something i'd do all over again. I haven't really decided if i will do it again. I change my mind all the time. But it was one of the best experiences in my life. No matter how painful and hard. I just can't believe how fast this past year has gone by! Wow. I will admit i want to rip my hair out sometimes and or open the door and start walking. But what mom doesn't? That's what grandmas are for!

I highly recommend this thing they call motherhood.
It's one hell of a ride and never disappoints!
