Pre-Birthday Post

I have been reflecting back lately on my first born. My sweet James Morgan. I remember how painstakingly I prepared his nursery room. Spent hours thinking about making it just right. Anyone remember this nursery room? It was his for exactly 2 months before we moved and I don't think he ever even slept in that room. Baby boy liked the swing and I liked my sleep.

John and I were so excited to be parents. Look at our happy glow in this picture. Also, look at my large belly. This photo was taken in early March of 2007, James didn't arrive until mid-may. I think this picture explains why my body will never be the same. Good grief! I actually winced looking at this picture. Ha!

In May of 2007, the sweetest and loudest baby on the planet was born. I think he and I lived in a rocking chair for the first 4 months. Always snuggling and rocking. Snuggling has never been James' favorite activity, but neither was sleeping. He slept best rocking, so a rocking we would go.

Then he turned 1. That first year seemed so long at the time, but now what I wouldn't give to have another snuggle from that sweet baby boy.

Baby brother arrived in October and James was so angry with me. For 2 weeks he didn't want anything to do with me or his brother. But soon after the three of us would snuggle together. Luke truly was a baby who LOVED to be held.

Suddenly time flew by and James turned 2. Ready to be independent and feisty as ever!

I blinked and he was 3 and best friends with his little brother. Two little boys running around and stealing my heart.

Now we are approaching birthday #4. Where did the time go?

We love you James!
