Today is my baby's 1st birthday. Just 365 days ago he looked like this...
 |
| On my way to get induced. |
Yep... some of the perks of being induced is taking a leisurely drive to the hospital in the morning
(contraction free), walking on in with your latte in hand
(thank you Hot Shots), ordering breakfast from room service while you simultaneously get your epidural & pitocin and then having a delightful morning with your family and close friends in the room while you have a baby. I realize this is not everyone's experience but it really was a dream delivery!!!
Here's a few hours later that same day:
 |
| 3:36pm ~ 7lbs 7oz and 19.25" of pure perfection! | |
|
|
 |
| Our new family of four! |
This past year has flown by so quickly and Elijah is such a ray of sunshine in our house. He's cuddly, he's cute, his smile just melts me and he ALWAYS smiles, and my favorite thing - of everyone he knows, I'm still his favorite
(by a closing margin... Daddy and Grandma are getting close). From his first grin in the morning when I go get up from his crib, to the last cuddle and his sleepy smile when I lay him down at night and all the moments inbetween, the boy is pure joy to me.
So happy birthday Elijah - mommy loves you VERY MUCH!!
