Grow, Baby, Grow!

Being pregnant was hard.  Really hard.  Probably the hardest thing I've ever done.  Yet it was also the most fascinating, anticipatory time of my life, and I truly loved every second of knowing I was carrying our firstborn baby.  From her first little "butterfly kiss" kicks, to finding out she was a girl, to "taking her swimming" (floating in water is awesome when you're pregnant!), to finally meeting her, I loved being the only one to hold her every moment of every day.  So, chronicling the growth of our little one gave us great joy!
