Remember this little boy???  Yikes.  I don't remember him being oh so little when Campbell was born just 7 short months ago.  I was looking back through old pictures and these took my breath away for a second.  He was just a baby.  Now he's a big boy.  Sheesh.  Scary/rotten/wonderful/fun/odd how quickly they are changing right before our eyes. 

And him today...

She looks a little different too!

And 7 quick months later...

Sam was 18 months old- not a walker- still had a paci- slid head first from our bed that morning (nice supervising mom! ouch!)- had only a handful of chompers- and was our same sweet spirited smiley boy!!!!!  He looks just a bit different one year later!

Flashback Friday

Today I'm flashing back to a day just shy of two years ago... Sam's birthday.  Our good friends are in labor with their second babe as we speak in Des Moines.  I have been a puddle all day as I'm thinking and praying for them.  Anything labor and delivery, centimeters and pitocin, first cries and eyeing that new miracle gets me so so so excited and emotional!  I love it!  I could talk, listen, ask questions and get status updates on that stuff all day as the women I know and love go through it!  Although we're a good three months from experiencing that day again ourselves, I have been loving dreaming of that day today as Sam and I go about our normal Friday.  We're wishing Jill and Spencer and their new little miracle a speedy and safe day filled with much joy!  PS- they waited to find out boy/girl this time so it's a different kind of super exciting to finally meet him/her! 

Here's a picture of me in "active labor"!!  I was pretty out of it with the medicine they had me on for being pre-preeclamptic so this is what I looked like through the majority of my labor!  I don't remember much other than the couple of hours leading up to my epidural and then once I started pushing.  Although kind of nice, I hope the second time around does not involve that med! 

Almost two whole stinkin years ago Sam I Am and oh so fun to remember!!!!!!  : )

What an amazing blessing.
