Happy 1st Birthday Taegan!!!!!!!!

Taegan,

What a big girl you are today. I can't believe that a year has passed since you joined our little family. You were so anticipated and we were so anxious a year ago this morning-we had no idea you would greet us today and throw us for a loop right at the beginning. Thinking about how scary that first night was with you brings tears to my eyes. Daddy was having to be with you in the NICU while Mommy was trying to recover in her room and worry sick about you. They finally got you settled and stable at 2 in the morning and Daddy came back to tell me you were doing a little better. I then had to wait another 24 hours before I could see you because I had a fever when you were born. Yikes, what a day and a half that was waiting to finally meet you! I will never forget holding you for the first time and loving on you. You were perfect and we just wanted to run away with you. You stole our hearts right away and we have not looked back. Thank you for being such an amazing little girl and for making our dreams and wishes come true. You have changed Mommy and Daddy forever and we are eager to share our time together with you. We look forward to many more years to come!!!

We love you,

Mommy and Daddy
