5 Years Ago
Posted on Friday, April 17th, 2009 at 5:16 amI thought I might make it through the day without crying.
But nope. All it took was pulling up the pictures from April 2004 and the flood gates opened.
Five years ago at this time I was pregnant. With my first child. In fact, April 16th 2004 was my due date. Will wouldn’t decide to come until ten days later – but we didn’t know that then.
Each day was spent with a sense of anticipation. Wonder. Nervousness. Fear. Excitement. Anxiousness. You name it. It was there.
I could never have known what motherhood would mean to me like I understand it now. As I’m sure in ten years I’ll know it even more.
And you all benefit from my sappiness – because I’m actually posting these pictures. These were taken in March of 2004 on a trip to CA. To the beach we frequent now. We were there on Sunday. I stood on the very rocks that I have for five years now. And so much has changed.
More to come on the first one who completely changed me. Life. Everything.
April 26th is his birthday. But this date, well it’s all mine. In celebration of all I hoped for – all I expected – and all I’ve been given.
