The end of an era

It was in my not so distant past that I would spend many hours a night awake with my newborn son. Sleep seemed to be a commodity that I just couldn't afford.

Dang, and it was the one thing I wanted most. I lived my life three hours at a time, for feedings were never far off. My mother in law and I always joked we should move in together, she couldn't sleep at night but wanted to turn in early and I could stay up late but hated being up at night.

It would be the perfect pair for raising a newborn. Well as time always does a year has snuck up on me, for Wednesday is my son's first Birthday.

We decided to have our children close so we could get through the newborn phase quickly. The first year just seems to really take it's toll on you.

As I see people with newborns I realize that I no longer have any little "babies" (unless you count my husband from time to time). For a brief moment I was almost saddened by the fact that we will no longer have any more babies in our house (GOD WILLING!).

I've reached a small milestone in my life. For once I can enjoy a moment of peace, however short lived it may be. My kids can entertain themselves for short spurts and thankfully sleep is more present in my house. So I say goodbye to the baby era and hello to toddlers!

The past year with my son Jesse has be a challenging and ever so rewarding one. While I was pregnant with him I spent so much time worrying about having enough love in my heart for two children.

For Jesse I grew a second heat all his own to greedily love him in! I love you Jesse Ero, Happy Birthday my Son!!
