My boy turns 1 year old tomorrow. \u00a0It’s crazy to think just how fast this year has passed, but here we are.<\/p>\n

One year ago today, on the eve of his arrival, I was feeling so excited but SO anxious. \u00a0When you know what day your baby will be born, you have a whole different set of nerves to battle. \u00a0The situation was very different than 3 and a half years earlier when we were anticipating Jaia’s arrival. \u00a0This time around it was calm, and far less scary, but still nerve-wracking.<\/p>\n

BUT – I knew that within hours I would be meeting my little man and could barely contain myself. \u00a0Bag was packed, plans were made, talks were had with a little lady who was just about to be a big sister. \u00a0We were ready. \u00a0The wait was over.<\/p>\n

And, oh, was he worth the wait. \u00a0He makes my heart swell.<\/p>\n

**You may have noticed that I lost count. \u00a0My days were off. Not by much, but off nonetheless. \u00a0I put up a good effort, but failed to get a shot up every single day. \u00a0Had I kept up my end of the bargain, I wouldn’t have messed up. \u00a0It would have been easy to keep track. \u00a0But that said, I’m thrilled that I gave my boy a neat way to look back on his first year, and for that, I am happy. \u00a0He won’t care to see that there were days missing here and there. \u00a0We’ve got ourselves a great little story for him to look back on one day. \u00a0He will never doubt how much we love him.<\/p>\n
