My First Born

Tomorrow my first born turns 5 years old. I can’t believe that it’s been 5 whole years since she came along and my life was changed. Sometimes it feels longer than 5 years that I have had her in my life and at other times it was just a minute ago that I was a new mom, feeling happy, scared and ready for anything.

Recently I have some friends that have either just had or will have their first baby and I’m jealous. Never again will I experience it all again for the first time. But as I much as I miss her little baby stage, I’m really enjoying the new stage as well. It’s amazing to discover her personality. She’s a giggler and I love to listen to her and see what is so funny. Tomorrow I plan on taking the day off to be with her and I can’t wait. There will be no school, no work, no other siblings. Just she and I…the way it was in the beginning.
