Do you see that ticker at the very bottom of my blog? The one that says that my tiny little baby is NOT a tiny little baby? It says that she is actually 4 years, 11 months, 3 weeks and 6 days old. Do you know what that means?!? That means that tomorrow that dang ticker is gonna be all 'Yay! Happy Birthday! You're Five!' Ew.
FIVE. FIVE! YEARS! Not days. Not months. YEARS. This is my baby we are talking about people! Only she's not a baby, she's not toddler. I had to look in the big girl section for clothes for her. They make halter tops and strapless dresses in her size!! NOT a baby. Ick. I just don't know about all of this. Am I happy? Am I sad? I'm confused! How did five years go by that fast? That's half a decade. Ick.
Five years ago tonight I was sitting on my couch watching American Idol when my labor started. Actually, I don't know what makes me more sad- the fact that it was five years ago when I went into labor with my first baby or the fact that it's been five years and I still watch American Idol :)
Although, it's kind of hard not to be excited for her. She is SO excited and it's going to be a big year for her. She's going to grow so much. I have always loved little ones, but I'm beginning to see that watching little ones turn into bigger ones can be pretty amazing. It's already been a joy to watch my beautiful, squishy, pink, baby girl turn into a beautiful, smart, hilarous, little girl. Can't wait to see what happens in the next five years.
But it still makes my stomach hurt... just a little.

I feel you, it is so bitter sweet. You want them to grow and you want to do fun things with your children but then you miss them being small. I'm glad the earrings are working for you now. I would have been really upset if she lost the real diamonds, she has chewed on a 14Kt gold ball one. She looks at me and just rips them out. She is sweet but she has some nasty moments as well.Gotta love a toddler. Do you have facebook?
