One Year Ago

A one year old birthday...kind of emotional.

I'm very THANKFUL that I'm not in the hospital having a C-section. I glanced at the clock at 8:49am exactly and took a moment to cuddle my active little boy. I remember the first cries I heard from him and the first cuddle. I remember being so overwhelmed when I first heard him that I starting to cry too. I wasn't able to experience that moment with Tori since I was under general anesthesia when she was born. It's a precious memory.

AMAZED, I'm realizing how quickly time flies by and how fast he's growing up.

EXHAUSTED, I still haven't been allowed to sleep through the night.

GRATEFUL for all of the family and friends that have helped a long the way. And especially to Jeff who makes it possible for me to stay home and raise our kids and Tori for being an excellent and caring big sis.

EXCITED to see many of you at Siah's birthday today.

Happy Birthday Josiah. I LOVE you.
