Today is my birthday.

I’m 26.

For the first time in the past few years, it’s not about the number for me.

20 was the kickoff to a new decade.
21 made me a “real” adult.
25 marked a quarter of a century.

Hitting these milestones made me feel like my 20s were zooming on by. Every year was another one closer to being 30. 40. 50.

I’m done counting the years, because now I’m counting the moments. I’ve had 26 years full of amazing opportunities for growing, loving, and becoming the person I was made to be.(source)

I have a lifetime full of heart-melting snuggles, smiles, and kisses from my baby girl.
My husband loves me regardless of how many times I annoy him with the same exact question, problem, or request.
And today, I get to see my new baby through ultrasound for the second time.

Today is my birthday.

I’m 26.

My heart is so full and my life is so blessed.
