1 Year

Wow, just wow.
The time has just flown by and I can't believe it!
My little baby is now a little boy.
He turned one today and he has changed so much!

1Year ago:
I was in the worst pain of my life.
Everything about my life, was going to change.
I was afraid.
I was from then on, going to be called 'Mom'.
It was the last day I would ever get to sleep in.
I was going to be 100% responsible for a little human.
It was the start of a brand new life. A harder Life.

A life that I didn't want for many years.
A life that was, and is, full of ups and downs, highs and lows,
depression and frustration, happiness and proudness,
accomplishments and failures, and hundreds of pictures.

Being a Mom is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
I feel like my life has been put into fast forward.
And it was bad for a long time. Really bad.
But it's getting better :)
I am finding more joy in being a Mom and I am grateful for that.
And I am so thankful for all the love and support I've had from everyone <3

But there's no doubt that I love him.
He is so adorable and he makes me smile everyday.
He is silly, shy, loud, grumpy, chatty, stubborn, 
smiley, smart, needy, ticklish, and everything in between!

So without further delay, here is a little montage of his life so far!

  1. YAY!! He's so big!! And I love his beach baby hair - little boys on the beach need long hair.

    Brittany - you're a trooper!! I look up to you so much. I have a feeling the adjustment to being a mother will be hard work for me too. I hope you're okay with me asking you questions on how to survive!
