• He’s Almost TWO?! WHA?!

  I’ve got 9 days to go before my son turns two. TWO! That’s such a bizarre thought. People say it all the time, but it really does feel like yesterday that I was pregnant. Mere hours seemed to have passed since giving birth. And yet, the past two years have been a blur.

  Sure, I can look back at pictures, and snap back to that moment. I’ve taken thousands of pictures of my baby in the 721 days I’ve had him. But if I just sit here and think back to two weeks, four weeks, five months… It’s all jumbled together.

  I can’t believe that I am a person with a two year old. Where did my baby go? The little 5 pound, 13 ounce bundle that fit in the crook of my arm? Now, he’s half as tall as me, and runs, jumps and screams around.

  I am—WE are—unbelievably lucky. My husband and I hit the baby jackpot with our son. He couldn’t have been more perfect. Ten fingers and toes, a beautiful face, personality and good health. I continue to wonder what I had ever done so right to deserve him.

  Maybe that’s why I’m going overboard on his second birthday party. I just want to give him a beautiful day that is worthy of his awesomeness. I’ve got a long way to go in the next week to get ready. Invitations have long been sent out, party favors have been designed, and supplies have mostly been gathered. I’m not looking forward to blowing up all the balloons, but can’t wait to see everything assembled. It’s going to be an amazing time, for an even more amazing little boy.

  I love you, my baby, to the moon and back.
