Remember when you tried to buy me a shot on stage?

Well, I couldn't drink it, because I was pregnant.

And today, that little fetus that I protected from fetal alcohol syndrome is 1.

1 year old!

Time goes by so so so fast.

before

and....

after

The craziest part is, about 2 months into the pregnancy, I was having serious complications. There was only a 50/50 chance of her surviving. We thought that I was going to have a miscarriage. It seemed inevitable. The odds weren't very good, but here she is, happy and healthy. 

and walking everywhere!

Never lose hope, even when the odds aren't necessarily in your favor.
