One year ago today, we were anxiously
awaiting the arrival of our son Lincoln. After almost two weeks of
bed rest in the hospital, but still three and a half weeks early we
were full of nervous excitement. At 8:36 am, our baby boy came out
screaming. It was music to my ears. He has added so incredibly to
our journey over the last year. Lincoln has taught us some things
over the last few months: the true meaning of parenthood, there is
not a limit to how much coffee one human can consume in a 24 hour
period, all consuming love, how to be circus performers to hold off a
meltdown, the crazy amount of diapers you receive at your baby
showers will run out, kids tunes can reoccur in your dreams, floors
are never as clean as you think they are (little ones can find the
littlest things), code words for a quick exit with a crying baby,
your outfit is not complete without spit up or baby food, the thrill
of an afternoon nap or a few hours of consecutive sleep, the holidays
never used to be this fun, we've never been this busy, this flexible,
worried this much, laughed this hard, challenged ourselves to be
better people, been completely captivated watching someone grow. We
are truly blessed to be his parents. What a privilege to be
entrusted with his care. Happy 1st Birthday to our little
man!!!!!!!! (REPOSTED FROM FACEBOOK PAGE, FRIDAY, 3/28/2014)
