This is suppose to make me happy right?

I am suppose to be happy that I have a happy healthy 11 month old right? Then why have I been crying all day, and wishing I could rewind back to 11 months ago? I am beyond thankful for my baby boy, but am so sad that it has gone so fast. I feel like I waited so long for him and in a blink of an eye my baby is gone. I love how much fun he is right now and know the best is yet to come, but I would love to hold that tiny little peanut one more time.

I have been trying to distract myself by planning his party, hoping that it would make this all a little easier, but then today happen. And I feel like I got hit by a train! How did this sneak up on me? How am I only a month away from having a toddler? There was a time I thought I would never get to experience motherhood and I am so thankful that I have. I hope and pray I get this experience this again, but if I never do I know I was one of the lucky ones, and will forever be grateful for this.

Sorry for the whine, but today has honestly been a rough one for me, and I feel silly saying any of this out loud. Can someone please work on finding that remote? I could really use the pause button!

(((hugs))) I feel this way all the time. It all goes by so fast. Yes, every stage will be fun, but they are only teeny-tiny babies for a short time. I've cried about this plenty of times, believe me.

But there's so much to look forward to. Wait till he starts talking-- it's just so amazing and adorable to hear what comes out of their mouths!

Take heart, because while it is sad to see them get older, things are about to get SO fun. Seriously, talking, walking, the "I love you Mommy"...you are in for a great year or two.

I totally went through this before DS turned one. It does go way too fast! All I can do is offer some hugs and say that it really does just keep getting better. I do still miss having a "baby" sometimes, but this toddler thing is pretty cool!
