Silly Mom Thoughts

At this moment one year ago I was reclined in a hospital bed, madly scratching my nose as the morphine wore off, and thankful for the motion sickness patch the nurse put behind my ear to help the morphine pukeys subside. One year ago, I was snuggling my Bean for the first time and taking in all of her features. Daddy’s toes. Mommy’s nose. Daddy’s blue eyes, but Mommy’s eye shape. One year ago,  I fell in love with my Bean.

Why does time have to pass so quickly? I remember her being born, I remember holding her little body in my arms, watching her tiny little fingers grip my finger… yet it feels like that’s all a figment of my imagination. Thank God for video tapes and digital cameras, or I’d never be able to truly remember what she looked like on her birthday.

We celebrated Bean’s birthday with the traditional pizza, smash cake, and presents. And, being that it was Seahawks Sunday, we did most of our celebrating at halftime. Bean loved her cake, and her big brother helped her devour it. She got lots of fun girly presents like a Cabbage Patch Kids from us, clothes, and a play purse.

Bean was also inducted into girl-hood as I wrangled her down to put her very first pony tail in her hair. She looked a-freaking-dorable! Here, see for yourself:

To add to this awesome day, Bean and Bug now have their first cousin! Turk’s brother and his girlfriend welcomed their first baby, a girl, into the world this evening. We are so happy that she’s here and everyone is healthy. How fun that Bean and her cousin share the same birthday!

Finally, as if this weren’t all exciting enough, the Seahawks WON in their away game against the 49ers!! I was shocked. Happy, but shocked, since the 49ers kicked our booties when they were here in September.

What a day!
