Happy 1st Birthday Tilly!

Happy 1st birthday, Tilly! Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday we were sitting outside on the swing waiting and waiting and waiting on the hospital to call and tell us they had a room available! Well, they never called that night because apparently they forgot about us, so we did not get the call until the next morning and your daddy and I had the blessing of sitting on 285 in rush hour traffic! Don't worry, you were worth it! We checked into Northside Hospital on the morning of August 19, about 9:00. Induction began soon after that. Labor with you was a breeze with the help of a wonderful thing we like to call the epidural; I never even had to push! Thank you! You were born at 4:48 P.M. Christine Gordon, our midwife who delivered both your brother and your sister, delivered you. You weighed 8 pounds exactly; almost 2 pounds smaller than your brother, and 1 1/2 pounds smaller than your sister! You were 20 1/2 inches long. You really were/are just a beautiful baby. The first thing your daddy and I noticed was the precious little dimple on the left side of your mouth; it has become more defined over the last year. We love it! Today, Tilly we give thanks for your life. You have brought so much joy and love into our home and our family would not be complete without you. Our prayer for you is that God would continue to heal your little body and that you would continue to grow and be healthy. We also pray that He would capture your heart at an early age. Happy 1st Birthday, Tilly! We love you so so so much!
