Today, Beau turns ONE! Has it really been a year?! I'm in shock.
Beau was born on April 17th, 2012. I knew I wouldn't make it to my due date (May 2nd). I told Jake just before midnight on April 16th, "I feel like it's going to be soon!" And three hours later a woke up saying, "Jake, get me a towel, I think I'm wetting the bed!" My water broke, luckily nothing got on my bed! After a long 16 hours, and lots of hunger pangs (mostly for spaghetti), my little man came into the world. It was an interesting and scary experience, but it was only painful at the end. I had the epidural, and I SO wanted it! Beau was the most beautiful little thing I had ever seen...
They laid him on my chest and he waved hello. He stole my heart!
The past year has been wonderful. Not EVERY moment was good...but it was all worth it. If you want the secrets (that women don't ever seem to talk about) about post birth and the next few weeks (when it came it me, not the baby), let me know...but too graphic for blogging!
My baby was perfect. He has grown and changed and made me the happiest I could ever be. They say it changes your life, and they're right. They also say it goes quick, and man does it ever! I would do it all over again. He is the light of my life, the happiness I wake up for every day.
My little man...he's growing up.
Happy 1st Birthday Beau!
WOW....so sweet! I love that you were thinking about "no water on the bed" before your 16-hours started and spaghetti at the end"...what a combo!!! :) Beau knew the second that he seen his mommy (and daddy) that he was truly blessed "Hi mom your so cool I love you"....adorable! Posting his pictures over his 1st year is so precious...what a sweet face! We are so happy for you all...and smile knowing that Beau has such wonderful parents! GOD bless you both and Beau ....hugs from us! xoxoxo
