July 24, 2006: My 30th birthday. After my parents headed home from their visit, I drove to the post office and mailed our application to the adoption agency. It felt good to do something official after all the talk and research and decisions. I had dinner with friends and barely refrained from telling them what I'd done.
July 24, 2007: My 31st birthday. Woke up early to the fussing of my baby girl, home three days. Spent the day dressing her in pretty dresses, feeding her, cleaning her, showing her off to visitors, comforting her, and making her scream with glee at funny faces.
What a difference a year makes.
