Two years ago tonight, I was eating Mexican food with some awesome friends and my hubby. And hoping this knucklehead would come soon! Later that night, he decided to cooperate and I went into labor.
I remember telling my husband to go get some sleep for an hour or two because we would have to leave for the hospital soon. Now I'm lying in bed listening to my son babbling to himself in his crib.
I remember the first time I carried him upstairs and put him in his bed. Now he walks up the stairs holding my hand.
I remember nursing him in the middle of the night. Now he insists on feeding himself.
I remember the first time he smiled. Now I have a hard time remembering a time he doesn't smile.
He has grown and learned so much in what seems like a very short time. I absolutely love bearing witness to his development, his milestones, his thoughts and learnings. I loved snuggling that tiny boy I could carry in one arm. Now I love snuggling the toddler who's legs hang half-way down my body! And I can't wait to snuggle the boy who's taller than me (which probably won't take too much longer.) I love being his mom and am so excited to see what comes next with him!
Two years doesn't seem like much time in the grand scheme of things. But these past two years have altered my life forever. I'll never be the same and I'm so glad.
