One chapter ends....
Yesterday was a happy/sad day. My baby turned one yesterday. It was a happy day to celebrate her, her cute personality and the fact that we are so blessed to have her. It was a sad day because she is my baby - my last child - and the days of having a new baby are over. Don't get me wrong - the sleepless nights, poopy diapers, ear infections, breast-feeding, and general disruption a newborn causes are definitely not easy and I won't miss those things - but it is sad when a chapter of your life closes. Paul mentioned the fact that Jaedyn is the last person to have a one year old birthday in our home and that made me sad. Paul thinks I am crazy for having a bit of the baby blues - he also mentioned the fact that it will still be another 10 years or so before we don't need a babysitter. Logically I am glad that we are done having children, I guess I will just have to hope that some of my siblings or friends still have a baby or two so that I can hold, snuggle, smell and stare into a sweet innocent newborn baby's face.

I know exactly what mean. There is a big sigh of relief knowing I don't have to be pregnant ever again. And on one hand I am counting the days of no more diapers or sleepless nights. But it makes me sad too knowing that this is it.
By the way Jaedyn is absolutely darling. I love all those pictures. She is a doll!
oh Isn't it amazing how quickly the time passes! They grow up way to quickly! She is absolutely adorable!
awww!!! mt baby just turned 4 and I still am sad knowing his firsts are the last in this house also! i crave that newborneness but know that is not what is in store for us!! what a sweet girl and a run for your money!! at least she will keep you busy and your hands in a million pots!( as Grandma Swanson would say!) Love you and your family lots!! we really so need to play this summer! I miss getting together it seems that our family has gotten so big. With out grandma to keep us together is seems as though we just drift futher apart! I guess that the way most extended families go, but it still makes me sad! with love,
