tonight, one year ago


wow.
It almost hurts to look at myself now. Was i really that big? People used to tell me i was enourmous but i dont remember ever feeling as big as that! 'Yes, just one baby' . 4 days to my due date. No wonder i hated reading stories to b2; her room is on the third floor! trudge trudge trudge at half past 8, just let me get my breath back before i start... that was story time for her over. we never went back!

I think i have a rather crazy mad woman look in my eye...must have been the lack of carbs i was consuming to try and keep the beans weight down! Ha!
Huge, uncomfortable, sleepless, counting down and just salad. Cruel.
The things we do for love.

Happy Birthday to your Baby Bean.

And...I think you started a bit late to try and keep his weight down....I'm just sayin...is all. He was a whopper! Most impressive.

More photos required of him please, post apple pancakes preferably. A first birthday is a great time for a family portrait, in all combinations.
