@stephyfaith, yeah it's a weird place to want time to stop, yet be so excited for each new step!
I still hope that we have the ability to do the surrogate thing... but I have to be realistic, too, in that it just may not happen. When I think of not getting to watch this transition from newborn to infant to toddler (again), it makes me sad. It's been an incredible road.
There's also a part of me that gets sick with jealousy over people with multiple kids. Especially when they say things like "oh you only have one, you don't understand". I get that... but it's so hurtful, it really jabs me. It was like hearing "oh you're not a parent, you don't know" from people before I had Isaac. Oversensitive much?
Guise, I think I'm ovulating, my emotions are all wickety wack.
Also, I totally have that feeling. Sometimes I will just sit back and watch Zoe play and see what she does and just think about how amazing it is to watch her learn and grow. It is truly an amazing and special thing.

I was looking at pics of B on my phone last night from a trip we took in March. He was always so happy then. But he couldn't crawl and he couldn't express himself. He was in his helmet.
He looked so similar to this roaming, emotional child I have now, yet so different, too. And that was only 4 months ago.
I get so nostalgic for who was, while so excited for who he is and so full of anticipation at who he'll be. It's so weird.
Whoa, it's been an amazing year. That's what I think... I can't get enough of him and his personality! I loved him as NB and I love him a little more every.single.day. He's changed so much and he's become his own little man and it's so damn special. I think I'm the luckiest person in the world and I'm sad that I can only catch a glimmer into his NB days nowadays but I'm happy that I have a happy and healthy one year old!
I have loved every minute. I loved him as a NB, I love him even more. I can't imagine how much more I will love him the more he becomes his own person and develops into the person he'll become down the road. OMG I'm getting the sads, you guys.
I think back to one night a year ago... I was crying because I just couldn't believe how lucky I was to have this perfect little girl falling asleep on my chest.
And now I have this goofy little lady who gives me hugs and kisses, who smiles when she sees me, who wants me when she's sad. And I wonder how it happened so fast! These tiny little changes that happened day by day. I am just so grateful, and also so excited to learn even more about this amazing little person, and have more experiences together.

Sounds about right. I usually have a tear or two a few times a week, happy tears. We must have done something right in our lives, ladies. We are so privileged to be moms to these beautiful babies.
I am late to this party and to answer accurately would take a novel, but -- I am in awe every single day of how resilient and amazing my kid is. And I am so incredibly proud of him for being strong and brave and happy in spite of everything.

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
Aside from having similar feelings in regards to Jadzia...
I think how awesome it is that some of us have "known" each other for almost 2 years All the ups, downs, drama, laughs, and everything in between. The ladies we lost touch with and all the new friends we added along the way
I finally got down to PMing you just a little bit ago -- it's kind of heavy, so feel free to lighten it up. I won't be offended And also, it is totally crazy that some of us have known each other for 2 years now....I have significantly stronger friendships via TB than I have IRL, and maybe that's sad, but it gets me through. So :x to all the J13 mamas
