It seems silly to me that you were the pregnancy that kept me up at night with worry.
Of all three, YOU were the one that we made a plan for and eagerly counted down to confirmation that you were going to be ours. Heck, you had your very own name already before you were even placed in my arms. Only you.
Perhaps it was that we were old enough to know the risks this time and yet still new enough that we forgot to hold hope close. How could we ever maintain a balance with three? Surely you would tip the scale someway ... and you did. But, instead of dividing a balance between siblings, you just dipped us further into the loving side. Who knew? Only you.
It's funny now. In a my-heart-my-burst-if-I-think-about-it-too-much kind of way. To think that I had worried if I could love you enough or if you would fit our loud and quirky lifestyle. Sweetheart, you just might the strangest of the bunch. You are the keeper of both the loudest laugh and the smallest body. You do more than tag along to our family... you connect us all.
So today we mark a year of greatness. Remembering all those late nights, early mornings, fatigue, laughter, milestones, balancing, adventure-seeking...our Lulu keeping. Today we celebrate the beautiful light to this world that is our one and only you.
Happy Birthday, Lucy Ellen. What a year of fun.

Very sweet video! I've been thinking about making one for my daughter's first birthday next month. Was it pretty simple using Vimeo???
So easy! The only thing is that you have to wait about 30 minutes after making the video before you can post...unless you are a vimeo plus member. Really easy to navigate though. You should make one!
Just perfect! I love you, Lu, for SO many reasons! You're funny and sweet and silly and you look JUST like my best friend! You are the perfect balance for your wonderful brother and sister and I can NOT wait to see you soon!!!! Happy Birthday, sweetpea! Love, Aunt Maxey
