Little B is turning 1. Who let this happen?
It seems like just yesterday, literally, that I was taking a pregnancy test in my best friend's Nikki's house in Philly and finding out I was pregnant.
Let me tell you about Brenna. She is a true joy. She is peace, she is happiness this little one. This of course is not to compare her to Ella but they are of course similar but very different.
Brenna is so calm. Sure she has her moments but from the pregnancy on up, she has been reserved. I barely felt her move when she was in my belly, she just hung out. She had some sleeping issues initially but she found her schedule and all was right again. I remember when she would wake up every 3 hours to breastfeed (sorry to you sensitive types) I was SO happy to see her! ...it's those blue eyes :)
It is an amazing thing to be a parent. I adore being a "mama" to my girls. I live my life full. I am busy. I have a successful career that I want to continue to grow and flourish and I want my family to continue to flourish (notice I DID NOT say grow any larger!!) but there are sad times when I will notice that a week has gone by and I miss my girls because I have gotten so caught up in our routine. I miss out on the little things sometimes.
Sometimes I want to wrap them up inside me again. To keep them there so they are always with me. I remember when I was pregnant with Ella, I thought it was so amazing to always have someone with me - she loved it too...always moving and grooving in there :)
The other night we had a gas leak in our house. I came home with the girls and there it was a house full of that smell. (Ella says afterwards, "Mama, we got in that house and it smelled like cheese, we had to leave") I got them out asap and to make a long story short everything was fine. But there are times when you just stand apart from what is happening and you just notice. Ella and B were at our neighbors house being cared for, my dad came up, my mom was worried and supporting us and Matt came home from work. There are moments when you realize that control is such an illusion. That the people in our lives are truly precious. My family, my friends. I was never so happy to see someone than when I saw Matt walking down that street amid fire trucks.
So my little baby girl is turning 1. I am excited. I am never sad at the thought of them getting older or me getting older. It does just seem to get better.
She is such a sweet thang that Little B. Life is sweet. :)
