40+2?!

40 weeks, 2 days
Today marks the exact weeks/days that AJ was inside my belly, as he has blessed our lives. What started out as this little peanut has grown into this bouncing baby boy that amazes me every single day. I am still at a loss as to AJ only being here for as long as I was pregnant. It makes me stop to think that everything that we've been through and those tough days of trying to figure out schedules, naps, eating, just being... is still because he is still adjusting to this crazy world. From the day of conception until birth, I was wowed by the growth that was taking place to make our little surprise healthy and strong. But even more so, I cannot believe the milestones this little boy has accomplished is such a short amount of time. I cannot believe how one little person of 9 months can teach me so much is such a short time.

In a life of parents: Every Day is Something New! Thank you AJ for making each day better than the day before!


I found this poem online and it is exactly how I feel:


A letter for my beautiful baby boy.You are my son, my pride, my joy.You make me feel happy, and loved through the daylight,and a little more than tired for the rest of the night. Sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed,when you cry and fuss 'till you're rocked and held.Sometimes are hard times, though only a few,the rest of the time, I don't want to be away from you. From your sweet scent, and your beautiful eyes,to your angel like smile, and cute little sighs. To love you, hold you, play with you, and sing to you. To brush my chin over your baby soft skin,as I kiss you, and hold you, and remember everything,that is so special about you, My beautiful baby boy, my only son, my pride, my joy. I loved you the moment I knew I was having you.I loved you more the first moment I set eyes on you.I love you even more this moment right now,as I will continue to love you through all of you life. The longer I'm with you, the more that I'll love you,right up to the very last breath of my life.And even then my love will be strong,as I look down from my cloud, in Heaven above. Until that day comes, though I don't have much,I can promise you that I will love you a bunch.I will always be there for you, this I know,to help you succeed, as I watch you grow. To smile through the happy times,to help cheer you through the bad,to laugh through all the fun times,and be there through the sad.You will always be my baby boy, my beautiful baby boy. No matter what this life may bring,I just want you to know one thing.You will always be loved, I have no doubt,you made me understand what love is really about. My life has now become complete,God gave me lifes most precious treat...To be with you my baby boy.My love my life, my pride, my joy.
