Last year at this time, I was convinced that I was in labor with Mason, which was fitting for the Labor Day weekend. It happened to be false labor, and my little man decided to come just a few days later. This year we got to celebrate with Mason and enjoy a family barbecue, swimming, and lots of naps:) Any extra time that we get to spend with him is awesome!
As his first birthday is quickly approaching, I have been spending a lot of time reflecting on the passed year. This has been the scariest, most exciting, greatest time of life and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I think about how much I cried in the first few months due to lack of sleep and trying to figure out how to be a mom. At that time, I did not think I was going to survive a year and I remember wishing for him to be older so that I would know how to take care of him. I feel like I also wanted him to grow up quickly so that I could enjoy each milestone. Now, I miss those nights where it was Mason and I, sitting in his rocking chair at 3:00 AM. I would just stare down at him in complete awe of how perfect he was and wonder how I could be so fortunate to have such an amazing little family. As he is turning one, I find myself crying a lot again, but not because of lack of sleep and not knowing what to do, but because I am happy to see how much Mason has grown and all that he has accomplished. This little guy has blessed our lives in so many ways and I look forward to the many more years to come.
