Baby boy’s due date was January 16. He’s officially late… so much for my instinct of thinking he’d be early! But, from what I’ve read, this is pretty normal. About 50% of all babies are born AFTER their due date. Little Miss was a late one too; I developed pre-eclampsia late in my pregnancy, and my blood pressure skyrocketed when I hit 41 weeks.

Lessons in Resilience and Never Giving Up
I love the age Little Miss is at right now -- almost two years old. (Then again, I feel like I say that at every new “age.”) The connections she’s making, the words she’s learning, her bubbling personality. Everything!
