A little thought before a monthday celebration...

5 Months. LBB will be 5 months tomorrow.

Time sure does fly, doesn't it? You know what's funny though? When I say 5 months, it sounds like such a short time...

But it doesn't feel like it's been a short time.

I can't imagine a day without LBB. Did we have a life before him? I feel like LBB has been with us forever...like there wasn't a time that we didn't get to enjoy his cuddles, smile when he laughs, and marvel at his growth.

I really think that is what is so amazing about being a parent...that no matter how young he may seem, it seems like he has always been with us. Even when he was just a twinkle in God's eye. But you know what...I suppose even before we found out we were pregnant, he was with us. He was with us in major life decisions we made. LBB was with us when the idea of being parents was just a dream. He was with us when I would drag Dear Sweet Hubby into Babies R Us years before we even tried to get pregnant! :) (What can I say...I'm a planner.)

So, on this monthday "eve" I sit here and think about how blessed we are to have something that makes us who we are. A family. Something that it seemed like we were always hoping for. Always praying for. And now that we are, something that seems like we've been all the time!

I look forward to celebrating LBB's monthday tomorrow...after all, he is almost half a year old already and the sweetest little guy we've ever met!
