Mom's of 1+ year olds- dumb question

Did you cry when your LO turned 1?  I am such a baby just buying 12 and 18 month clothes for her to wear this fall and winter is making me sad.  I will probably cry for like 2 days when she turns 1.  I love that she is so fun and has such a personality but it's so sad for me because I don't know for sure that I will ever get the chance to have another baby.  I may never get to go through this again, I am almost crying typing this.  Wow, I'm pathetic.

    Will turns one in 10 days and I'm a freaking basketcase.

    When I was talking to my BFF this morning about her daughter turning one today, we both started crying.

    We just kept saying to each other, "Where did the last year go? What happened to our babies??" 

    I like privacy. A lot.

      This makes me feel much better! I was starting to think I am a freak or something!

    No, I didn't, and I never really get that. I was so happy when he turned 1. It meant I did my job for a year.

    I have another month before he turns one. However, I have been thinking about him turning one and how it makes me sad since he turned 9 months old. I will probably end up crying at some point (either on the day of his b-day or at his party). However, since I have been thinking about it and processing it emotionally for a while now, I don't feel as sad as I did before. I guess some days I am OK with it and other days I am not. I think it is just that they grow so fast and the first year just flies by and is gone before you know it. (I am sure all the other years do the same!).

    I don't know if we will have another one either. DH says he doesn't want another one at this moment. Some days I don't want another one either. We will think about it more seriously in about 2 years. 

    ETA: what helps me to deal with it is how we can do so many more things with him as he gets older. For example, taking him on vacations, to amusement parks, and all the other things that he really can't enjoy right now.

    I cried a lot! I'm doing the write your LO a letter each year thing, and I sobbed through the entire thing! I sobbed again blogging about it too. Completing the first year felt like such an accomplishment for me, my daughter, and my dh and I as a couple.
