What a fast 11 years it has been. We celebrated our little girls 11th birthday earlier in the week, it is such a cliche, but where has the time gone! I am amazed that I am old enough to have an 11 year old, I feel like I should still be about 20 years old. The older I get the faster time seems to tick by... tick, tick, tick... I'll spend about 5 minutes of my life just on this one blog post. I am getting off track here. Juliana came into this world after 24 hours of not so fun labor. She was 9lbs 4oz and didn't want to come out. The doctors had to wheel me into the operating room and cut me open to get her out. It wasn't what I had planned, but it all worked out for the best.
As she gets closer and closer to the teen years I find myself worried about the days ahead. All I've been told since the day she was born was "wait until she's a teenager". I worry she will one day tell me she hates me, or she'll gets so much attitude I won't want to be around her. My fingers are crossed that will never happen, but I am realistic and I know those days lie ahead. But for now, I will focus on who she is today and celebrate the amazing girl she has become. You'd be hard pressed to find a child with a bigger heart then Juliana. She's loving and caring and beautiful on the inside and out.
