(Hint: Swinging in the tree is not it!)  Yup, it's having a baby.  Or in my situation a budding toddler who will not stop growing up, even though I asked her nicely not to;  several times. 
I've never bought a round-the-globe plane ticket, or gone skydiving, or dyed my hair a crazy color, or made an audition tape to be on a reality show.  But I did become a parent and that is the most life-changing and important thing I've ever done in my life thus far.  I can't believe that my little angel is almost one year old.  To be honest, it's been the hardest year of my life too, and I will never forget that.  I am impressed by moms who don't feel the same way.  Never have I smiled so big and felt so tired all in the same moment, been so happy and so low.  I have never been more proud of myself for rising to the occasion and following through with commitment.  I've learned so much about myself through her; about patience and sacrifice.  I am so blessed by this healthy child who fills my life so completely along with my awesome husband, family & friends.
