3650 Days Ago
I’d never…
1) …fallen in love with a baby
2) …worried so much it physically hurt
3) …cut any fingernails, other than my own
4) …used my own spit to clean a spot on a face
5) …price shopped diapers
6) …really known what “running on no sleep” meant
7) …thought drool and flatulence were so funny
8) …wondered how they could let us leave the hospital with our very own baby
9) …felt so helpless
10) …felt so hopeful
Happy 10th birthday to my eldest, Anna. Can’t wait to see what the next 3650 days bring!
Love this! I agree . . . who knew this journey of motherhood would be so frightening and so fascinating and amazing! I remember being pregnant and thinking that once the babies came out my worrying would over – hysterical thought now! Little did I know the “real” worrying had only just begun!
Thanks Khara. 10 really snuck up on me. I’ve only cried while singing happy birthday to my kiddos at age 1 and 5 so far, but I have to admit, 10 got me choked up too!
