Fancy seeing you here

It's been a while since my last post, and I do mean a while. I have been occupied with work, and life. But alas, I have some free time to dedicate to the blog, so here I am.
Baby West is not such a baby anymore. We are 15 days away from him turning 3, and the thought of that is both scary and amazing. Scary, because time has flown by. I can think back to this time 3 years ago, and I can clearly see my HUGE pregnant self, lounging around at home, on my early maternity leave, preparing to meet West. It's as clear as if it were happening right now. 3 years ago, it's mind blowing actually. And of course it's also amazing. For 3 years Ed and I have been able to keep this precious little person alive. This is saying a lot since neither one of us had ever held a baby until we had West. We got our money's worth in those hospital parenting classes. 3 years of laughs, cries, stress, happiness, pride, exhaustion, excitement, frustration, and we're still surviving. This little boy is the light of our lives. I look at him and smile. I look at him and my heart almost hurts because I love him so much. Everything he does is special to me. Every laugh, every new word, every attempt at a conversation that we have, every hug, every snuggle, and every time he says 'I love you Mama', is as amazing as the first time.  I could actually write for days about everything that makes me love West, but then I wouldn't get to enjoy him. Trust me, he is incredible.

I'm hoping to keep this current. Ed and I do so many amazing and fun things with West, I hope that one day we can all look back at this and remember how much fun we always had.
