Today my sweet little boy celebrates his 7th birthday. He was officially 7 at 5:48am. Looking back I remember the joy of becoming a mommy though it's also hard to remember a time when I wasn't a mommy. I love getting to be a mom though, wow, it's not easy. Sometimes I wish there was a handbook but then I would be held accountable for not reading it and well let's face it, if it's not super interesting, I'm not gonna read it!
I remember right after Sullivan was born calling my mom and telling her he was it. No more for me. I was in a lot of pain and still remember quite vividly how sick I was the entire pregnancy. Mom reminded me that it wouldn't be long before I would forget all that and want another. She was right, though it took me 3 years before I was ready to "have" another. I can't say that I've ever forgotten the pain or the sickness, but I definitely know he was worth it.
My first born is 7 today. Wow. It really is hard to believe I've already parented him for 7 years. His birthday party is going to be next weekend since this weekend is Memorial Day. Here's wishing my sweet, sweet boy a very Happy 7th birthday.
Hey Shannon - Jack just turned 7 too and I can't believe it! What happened to our baby boys?
ReplyDeleteSullivan is so handsome! I haven't even scrolled down to read any of your other entries (I just found out from Ally you had a blog), but I'm almost afraid too. The last time I saw Channing she was just a little bit and I can't even imagine how grown up Dalton must be. I'm still in the Peel Class mentality with kids. It's like they all stopped growing when we left.
Take care sweet friend!
