growing up

J is growing up so fast. It is hard to believe that I was counting down the days till her expected arrival into this world a year ago. Part of me is sad that I did not savor each pregnancy pang or each case of heartburn or when J had the hic-cups in utero. Or that I did not burn to my memory the feeling of J punching my bladder in the middle of the night. I was so focused on the end; the end of my bloat and my swelling and holding my tiny baby in my arms. I miss being pregnant, but the end result is much better. Having J in my life truly makes me feel blessed. I could not ask for anything better.

It is amazing the rate at which J is growing up now. I thought 9 months of growing in utero was fast. All the changes weekly and daily that resulted in a human being amazed me, but seeing J change day by day and discover the world around her is thrilling. She is such a mover and shaker. She is so smart, so funny and so full of love. I love getting her up in the morning and seeing her flushed cheeks and her crazy bedhead. I love when she is cuddly and night and only wants me and the love I provide. I love seeing her bond with Hubby. I love seeing her bond with G&G. I just feel my heart burst with pride and love every time I look at her face.

A year. It has almost been a year. Wow, has my life changed, but it all has been for the best.

wow. I can't believe it's almost been a year. I have a friend who is cursing each day of the end of her pregnancy and I'm just telling her to try and enjoy it. I miss it.

I hated every minute of pregnancy. Ok. I hated 30 of the 40 weeks.

This LAST nine months, though, has been nothing but pure joy every minute.

Isn't it amazing? We're MOMS. And our babies are turning into toddlers. Then children. And they are pretty fabulous little babies, if I do say so myself. - SMOOCHes - Linds
