How to Make Cute Turkey Cupcake Toppers
2 years ago
Today I had one of those moments, ya know, the kind where you have to pick your heart up off the ground while simultaneously taking the worlds largest gulp. This morning Jackson woke up really early so I gave him a bottle and put him back to bed. I thought he had fallen asleep until I heard a thud followed by screaming. I ran in there and found him sitting on the floor...he had fallen out of his crib. I'm not sure how it happened but I think he was hanging over the side and flipped right out. He's fine, in fact he stopped crying as soon as I picked him up and the doctor saw no reason to bring him in. I pulled out he tool box and lowered the crib right away but I'm still not sure how my heart can handle all the years of falls and bumps and bruises that are to come!
It's very late, or very early depending on how you choose to look at things. It's 5:00am and I've yet to sleep as I've been putting the finishing touches on the big birthday party that we're having tomorrow, or today, again you choose. I haven't been able to help myself all night but to think back on what we were doing at this time last year. Growing up on our birthdays every year my mom would say "at this time __ years ago I was doing...." I understand it now. At this time one year ago, I had finally gotten to hold baby Jackson for the first time and I just kept saying over and over again "He's so perfect." He was born at 1:57am and I didn't hold him until around 4am, and by that point I could hardly keep my eyes open so our new family tired to settle in for some sleep, which is what I should do now. I can't believe a whole year has passed, I have loved every single minute of it, even on the sleepless nights like tonight!
I'm sort of mortified that I'm actually posting this picture of myself, but I am. I year ago this today I had been admitted into the hospital and induced and we were anxiously awaiting Jackson. He didn't exactly cooperate and wasn't born until the next day. I can't help remembering how excited, nervous, and scared we were!
And this is Jackson today! Ok, so not today but a week ago at his early birthday party while in Michigan!
