Lots of good things happening in the Sanders' household! My favorite thing lately was my birthday! It was such a wonderful birthday...we will not discuss which birthday this happens to be but it was great nonetheless. I was so worried I would be sad because I was without my husband and family (particularly my mom who has my whole life made me feel like I was the ONLY person who had a birthday which I have always loved!) but it was so easy to focus on what and who I did have with me! I kept thinking all day long how thankful and blessed I was to be celebrating another birthday and my first as a mother. I have read many stories of women who had HELLP syndrome during pregnancy who passed away or because of the damage done to organs, particularly the liver, had to have transplants and did not live long enough to celebrate another birthday. This year there is so much to be thankful for; another birthday, another moment with my baby, another confirmation that God has given me more than I probably deserve in friends and family. The birthday included a SURPRISE birthday party with 8 of my favorite ladies, the best pizza in town and an ant cake :), a big birthday package from my mom, cards and gifts from my man all the way in Iraq, Pepperidge Farm birthday cake, lots of cards from friends and family and a two hour break from Avery so I could get a pedicure! And my birthday present from Avery was this giggle!
