embarrassed...

Warner's birthday is this coming Saturday and I went by Party City this morning to pick up party hats and a little banner for him. (We're not having a real party, just a small family get together, but I still want it to be kind of festive for him )

And I actually started crying when I was looking at all the "1st birthday" stuff. For real--tears, stifled sobs...I felt dumb. I don't really cry and definitely not in public. But it just hit me like a ton of bricks that my baby is not actually a baby anymore. I tried to keep it together while checking out, but I'm sure that the cashier thought I was mental.

Good god.

Awwww! I can totally relate! Where did the last year go??

I totally teared up yesterday before the party. I think it is normal (well, at least for the two of us).

Just reading your post gives me the shivers...I think I will be in your shoes in 7 months.  I am dreading the first tooth - to me that means he is more a little boy than a baby...

I did too for Maggie but it turned out I was pregnant again so I like to blame the hormones   The family can;t all make it until May1st for Molly so I have a little while to pretend she isn't turning one so soon.

I am right there with you. I have started making plans for DD's birthday in June and it makes me teary-eyed just thinking about it. I'm working on a DVD slideshow and when I look at all the old photos and videos, I think, where has the time gone.

Well, happy almost 1 birthday Warner! Also, what a cute siggy.

I'm going to cry too. Like its my job. I don't think you're alone.

I'm right there with you.  My baby is turning 2 on Wed.  She isn't even a baby anymore, but this little person that is talking, singing, counting, etc.  I get teary eyed thinking about it.

I was so much worse than that. I cried every night for TWO WEEKS before DD's 1st birthday. I would go to put her to bed and just sit in the dark nursing and crying. It was pathetic. I had to have DH put her to bed for a few weeks after I weaned her and it finally broke my "my baby isn't a baby anymore" crying sessions. It was much easier with DS and DD's last two birthdays have been easier. I think I just adjusted to how quickly the time goes once you have kids!

I think it's totally normal!

I cried the 1st time I read "I'm a big sister" to DD (but I'll blame that on pregnancy hormones).

I can't believe all the b-days this month (incl. mine, already passed), I swear I know more people w/ March b-days than any other month!

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I had to go back to Labor and Delivery yesterday for a Rhogam injection.  I started getting teary eyed in the waiting room, thinking about the last time I was there and how my "baby" is now a little boy.  

It isn't fair how quickly it all goes by!

awwww, that's sweet! on tomas' first birthday, i'd planned to be home wtih him, nursing and cuddling at the moment he was born. instead, i was running behind schedule and found myself struggling to get out of the underground parkign lot at my local harris teeter while tomas was wailing in the backseat. i collapsed in sobs so emotionally, that tomas actually stopped crying to see what was wrong with me!

It gets even better with age... my daughter has turned into quite the ham. And she even manages to crack me up when she's sassing me

I can commisserate, but only for a fleeting second... you'll see it with Warner soon enough ;-)

Yup, I had a "he's getting so big" wail this weekend - starting solids, outgrowing the swing, rolling over both ways, Ferber - it was a lot of new stuff with bebe at once.

Awww I have those moments at least once a day lately.  Sometimes I just can't believe how big Xander is getting.  This time goes by way too quickly.
