I looked back to see when my last post was before starting this entry. Nine months. It's been nine months since I've made the time to write anything. A lot has happened in nine months, and I wish I had taken the time to record it all. Ethan started talking, and crawling, and then walking. I've been there for every milestone, every waking moment, every toothache, every fever, every sore throat... and all I have now are the memories. I didn't document it with words, or pictures. I may regret that as Ethan gets older, but I don't regret being there with him through every moment.
In 18 hours, Ethan will officially be one year old. He was born November 12, 2010 at 3:33pm by c-section. It's only been a year, but it feels like that day was forever ago. And yet, it's hard to believe that Ethan is turning one. Where did my little baby go? I cherish every moment I have with him. Jake Feldmiller was in a fatal accident this past week. It hit me a few hours after I found out, and I held Ethan tightly. I pray that I never have to experience the pain of losing a child, I pray that God looks after him and our family and sends his angels to look after us. I am so thankful- and grateful- to have Ethan in my life. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing son. He has changed mine and Jonathan's lives in so many ways.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner... and I am truly thankful for so many things, and people, in my life that I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'm eternally grateful that God gave me Jonathan, who helped to give me Ethan. Every day, I strive to be a better mother and a wife... and I know that somedays I fail pretty miserably, but I am so thankful to call them my family.
I am thankful to be Ethan's mother, and to be able to spend as much time as I do with him. It's a challenge some days, and he loves to push my buttons, but at the end of the day, as I put him to bed for the night... I'm so grateful for being able to kiss him goodnight.
I need to try to be more consistent with writing in here. I got months without saying anything, and regret having not documented that time. Not to mention, its a huge stress reliever to just get my words out on here. And also, it helps to keep my writing skills from completely deteriorating. I would still like to one day be able to write, and finish, a novel.... One day.
