So, we're T minus 4 days until I have a one year old ... and T minus 5 days until the craziest shindig my little home has ever known
I can't believe it's happening. I can't believe my BABY is turning one. I can't believe he's walking ... and down to 2 bottles a day ... and drinking MILK ... and eating REAL food. I am going to be a royal mess on Friday and Saturday.
Re: The final days ...
LMAO. I love you so much. More people should have a sense of humor about themselves
It hasn't been bad for me at other bday parties ... but I know Jack's will be different. DH was just saying this morning 'remember how HUGE you were this time last year' (yes honey, thanks for pointing that out). I was so swollen, SO uncomfy ... so blissfully unaware, lol

Lol. I did better than I thought. I did cry at 5:35 (the moment she was born).
And I did insist on giving Wes a blow by blow of exactly what was happening at the time a year ago.
"I was pushing right now." "I'm pretty sure they had cut me open by now." "They had FOR SURE cut me open by now."
I was really good company on the drive down
I felt the same way - I was more excited that she was one and growing so happy and healthy that I didn't cry at all. I'm completely amazed by her - from so little and helpless to this trying-to-walk, jabbering a mile a minute, curious, smart little girl in a year, it's awesome! She self-weaned from her bottles this weekend, which was kind of a shock, but makes it easier on everyone, hee. It's just so exciting, I love watching her little personality blossom! And the same thing with everyone's LOs - from so tiny at our first GTG to running around at Gymboree, I love watching them grow so big! And getting hugs from Sophia, Keanan, Jack, etc., that's totally awesome.
T self-weaned from her bottles too! About 2 weeks ago, she just started pushing them away. ?So I have one large can of formula, that I guess I will have to throw out!
And Steph, I might add, I am a VERY emotional person, so I was shocked that I didn't cry. ?I am just so proud of her, and amazed by watching her learn stuff every day! ?I swear I love her more and more everyday when it doesn't even seem possible to love someone this much. ?
