One year ago today I did the scariest, most exciting, most important thing I have ever done in my life. I gave birth to Adilyn Sue Lowder. Needless to say, I can't believe it's been a year already. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. This year has been the quietest and craziest year of my life at the same time. I did something I have never done (at least since I was probably 15) I stayed home and didn't work, I was unemployed. And it was the best choice I've ever made. I didn't realize how much I would like, no love, being a stay at home mom. I remember after I graduated from college and before Caleb and I dated, I felt a little lost. I wasn't sure what my purpose was and who exactly I was supposed to be. I was trying to find out where I fit in this world. And since the moment I made the choice to marry Caleb I have never again felt that way. I know I'm supposed to be Mrs. Caleb Lowder and mother of Adilyn Sue Lowder (and maybe mother to other humans yet to come). This post is supposed to be about Adilyn and her year of life but it has turned into me talking about me the whole time. Whoops. Adilyn is my life, she is my purpose.
Adilyn walks and is starting to talk a little bit. She almost runs and she climbs on everything! She loves to sit on the couch and to stand on the edge and make her mom nervous. She LOVES when daddy comes home from work, then gets upset when he gets in the shower right away. We are so in love with her and couldn't imagine what life would be like without her, and we wouldn't want to.
