Labor Pains, Growing Pains

A year ago today I was in labor, experiencing pain that I seriously never knew possible. It hurt so bad I had an outer body experience! When I woke up this morning my husband and I were talking about it and I said that I actually forget what it felt like. I remember it hurt, and I mean hurt but for the life of me I can't remember exactly what it felt like! I guess that's why the human race doesn't become extinct! Your just forget and gear up for the next one!

I have been very emotional this past week. Like I stated in an earlier post, it's crazy in the "K" household! We are starting to move stuff over later today, will move the bigger stuff like the couches, bed, crib, etc. mid-week, probably close on wednesday, and then the big birthday bash is on saturday!  Thankfully I have off from work wednesday-friday, but honestly it's all a bit overwhelming!

I am so in love with Noah, and this week I am about bursting at the seams with happiness and gratefulness for his health and recovery. Last year at this time I was in the most dark of places and today the sun is shining brighter then I could have imagined. I can't believe he will be ONE tomorrow, a toddler! I am looking forward to the holiday season, the lights, Santa, presents but all in all I am looking forward to his future and our future as a family.

I am not going to lie; it's been a long year. At times I wanted to throw in the towel, I felt like I couldn't possibly go on since it all seemed so overwhelming. But here we are, almost full circle to where we started, and it has all been so worth it.
