Last day as a 0 - end of an era.
This post is about my baby's last day as an 0!! Has a year really already past? I stop and think about the day I found out I was pregnant (October 5, 2009) - has it really been nearly two years. I still get tingles thinking back to that day. The day my life changed forever. The day that I knew something bigger, more important than myself existed and I took on the responsibility (not without fear).
This time last year...oh the joy!! I feel like my life was just beginning. It's hard to remember my life before Anderson! Isn't that strange? I was 37 when Anderson was born and I did have a life before he was born, but those memories are so distant. What was important then are not even on the radar anymore. Funny how that is.
Tomorrow Anderson is a one year old. I am a mother of a one year old. I am no longer a new mother. (Ok maybe I am, lets not get ahead of ourselves).
Oh my heart is going to explode!! I wanted to spend today just cuddling, holding and kissing my little guy...but no I am at work trying to get these urgent issues done to go home and get my last minute party errands done. Still so MUCH to do.
Love Note to Anderson:
Happy Last day as "baby" Anderson. Mommy loves you - today and everyday, but more today than yesterday. You are my joy. My purpose. My being. I feel so much love for you that sometimes I don't know what to do with myself! It's overwhelming and I find myself tearing up.
I see a change in your look...you actually look like a toddler - so grown up. You are becoming a child and no a longer a baby. Although I wish time would slow down a bit, I am happy to sit back and enjoy the ride that loving you brings!! All I can do is try to live in the present and celebrate each fleeting moment of your childhood. Your babyhood...I feel it slipping away so quickly. (Don't worry, I have a feeling that I will be calling you my baby FOREVER!!)
Anderson you bring so much joy and life to our family, and you give my days purpose and meaning. I am more than honored to be your mommy...a title I take to heart everyday. Thank you for all the joy, the smiles, the love. Your smile every morning - I live for that!
I could go on and on. But for now know that I love you to the moon and back twice. That's a lot.
God Bless you Anderson! Happy Almost Birthday!!
Love,
Mommy

Almost One
I'm doing my best to savor my baby. He is turning one in a few days. Can you believe it?
I like to watch him. I just like to look at him. I feel like he grows overnight. I swear he is bigger sometimes the next day. Last night I worked late and as I was driving home I began to get teary eyed. What is wrong with me? I missed him. I hadn't seen him in 11 hours and I started to tear up because I missed him so much. Oh jeese. I am a sap.
When I drove into the driveway. There was A hanging out with VoVo and daddy. Daddy had him on a new outdoor rug and A was getting use to the texture. He chose to just lie down and look up at the sky (so cute). I immediately wanted to just scoop him up and shower him with kisses! But I contained myself. A's big smile was enough to tie me over. I gave Daddy a kiss first (I read somewhere that we as new moms should always kiss Daddy first - should I still consider myself a "new mom") then I kissed my mom (who took the day off to be with my baby ALL day). Then I wanted to just squeeze him. But you know what. He wanted Daddy. Go figure. Burst my bubble.
I love you my little guy. You are slowly taking over my entire heart. Actually you already have. You own it. You owned it as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Then it became solidified when you were born (nearly a year ago). And NOW? Now, I'm just walking around with baby Anderson hearts all over my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I love you to the moon and back, multiple times. Happy almost first birthday.
