To say this first year as new moms has been incredible is an understatement. It has been unlike anything we’ve ever experienced together as a couple. It has come with its highs and low. Laughter and tears. Stagnation and Adventures. No amount of preparation could have ever prepared us for the life changing event of parenthood. It has been one of the most challenging jobs and yet tremendously rewarding.
We want to thank our village, family and extended family. Without you we wouldn’t have made it through this first year so seamlessly. Thank you to those of you who were here for us when Brenda was unexpectedly admitted back into the hospital only days after giving birth to our little Legend. She developed eclampsia which caused severe swelling, high blood pressure and fluid in her lungs. It was our first major challenge as new parents and the core of our village came together and helped us through it. It was Q’s first time caring for a newborn that was only a few days old and juggling visiting her wife in the hospital, all while being sleep deprived and she handled it like a rockstar!
Thank you for your love, support, your open arms and open hearts. Thank you for your kind words, gifts, prayers, baby sitting, advice, phone calls and texts. A BIG thanks to those of you who sent gifts from other states and countries. From as far as New York, California and the Dominican!
A special thank you to those who planned, hosted & helped with events for our little Prince. Our Baby Shower and Gender Reveal party were absolutely beautiful and unforgettable because of you. To this day people are still talking about it!
We joked about the amount of diapers we received. It was so many we had to get a storage unit to store them all! Because of you guys we made it through almost an entire year without having to buy diapers and wipes!
We are definitely not the traditional family but we have the same challenges as any family. Who’s going to do the laundry, cook, clean, watch the baby, change diapers etc.? It’s a juggling act. Having such a strong village makes the load a bit easier.
On behalf of Legend we send a sincere thank you for all that you do for us. Your unconditional love is undeniable. This kid’s life is going to be so enriched because you are in it.
We appreciate and love you with all our hearts!
PS. If you haven’t already be sure to visit my village page (you just may see your pic) and if you don’t and want to be included please send us a picture of you and Legend and we’ll be sure to add you 🙂
Much Love,
Legend’s Mommies
