I need to take a moment and thank everyone who responded to my last post. I was in a state about her birthday: fretting about needing to do something, wanting it to be beautiful, feeling completely alone and lost. And then I hit the panic button (also known as a blog post) and my fabulous friends, family and readers showed up.
I almost have a fully formed plan now and instead of worrying about not knowing what to do, or disliking the outcome, I'm feeling a little excited. I don't want to stress about her birthday and so many have offered to help/are helping the pressure is off and I feel able to relax. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be event planners (especially my Seattle team) - the ideas are pouring in and I am loving what's taking shape.
J is even starting to get into it now that a bit of a plan is developing. Over dinner we talked about what we want to do and the order of things. After we compiled a rough list of who may attend/has expressed interest in attending and both nearly fainted at the number. There's no way we'll all fit inside the birth center, but as my midwife pointed out there's an entire orchard at our disposal behind the center. It will probably rain, it won't go exactly as I plan, but something beautiful for our sweet girl's first birthday is taking shape and I am excited to celebrate and remember her.
