I cannot believe I am planning Clay's first birthday. Cannot. Believe. It. Time has gone by so fast. I remember, like it was yesterday, seeing him for the very first time in the OR after my C-section. I remember (vividly) the emotions that ripped through my body - knowing that I have never known a love like that before.
The invitations are ordered, the decorations are bought, the cake will be ordered soon, the birthday shirt is hanging in the closet (next to the outfit he came home from the hospital in), and still I cannot believe it. While I see remnants of the baby that we had (almost) 11 months ago, I see more of the little boy he is becoming.
I am so thankful for this past year - it has taught me more about life than the 30 years prior. It has taught me more about selflessness, love, time spent, the importance of family, and what is truly most important in this life - the preservation and growth of my wonderful marriage and the quality time spent nurturing and raising our son.
I love Casey and Clay more today than I ever have and I truly believe that I am the luckiest woman in the world.
